I'll have to find someone that can do that.
@Flsupraguy - Hi, I can make that work if you are willing to get the shipping company to pack up the seats as part of their service. Otherwise, it is not worth my time to sell for that price. Hope that will work for you.
I'm at 5,000 plus shipping. If that doesn't work I'm just going to with a set of recaro's I have at the shop. Let me know thanks.
I want/need the adapters as well.
@Flsupraguy - Do you want/need the adapters (for Porsche fitment) or just the seats. Shipping just the seats will be easier to pack and save a lot on the weight for shipping costs.
I understand; will be on the lookout for your offer.
I know I'm not the typical buyer as I own a shop and get Recaro's at cost so my max bid is my max before shipping/insurance.
@Flsupraguy - Sorry for the delay in responding to your offer; I was out of pocket all day yesterday. I have been giving thought to the logistics of packaging these seats for shipment and the effort it is going to take. If shipping, I don’t really want to go below the buy now price. If picking up, I would be ok near your offer. Please give me your thoughts.
I guess these aren't going to sell

@kaalia that’s great. Thanks much!
@Kians313 - I would imagine they would fit without issue. The information regarding the adapters and sliders are as follows:
Recaro Podium Manual Track Slider - Driver side: rec20072250NA
Recaro Podium Manual Track Slider - Passenger side: rec20072251NA
Recaro Seat Adapters for Podium Seats: rec5219908
@kaalia thanks for the update.
Do u have details of the adapters and sliders (make and model)? Noted u had them in a 718 GT4 which I think should fit a 992 GT3 but not 100% sure so wanted to check per manufacturer model specs.

Please note that these seats have been hardly used and are in like new condition. They were purchased new from the Recaro distributer for $7800.
Bid in the amount of $356
@Kians313 - Hi, thanks for the question. Yes, the seats will come with the seat adapters and track sliders, which are currently attached to the seats. I do not have the original shipping boxes, but will package as securely as possible. Location zip code is 23455 and weight of the each seat is 11lbs plus an estimated weight of 20lbs for each set of adapters and track sliders.
Great looking seats. Can you confirm if you are selling them with seat bases/side plates? From a couple of the pics they look attached. Regarding shipping, will they be packed in the original shipping boxes+protection etc? If poss to provide an estimate of total weight and approximate location like zip code for transport cost estimates. Thanks in advance.
@Cmatthews95 Disregard, I missed the comment, they're mediums. Sorry about that.
Are these the Medium or Large seats?
@HonkHonk - Candidly, the driving position just felt more natural to me. Not sure if I should attribute that to the build angle of the seats or adjustability.
@kaalia
The Porsche bucket seatback angle was actually perfect for me. The last set of seats I bought were Tecnocraft T2 which had so much lean in seat back that if the seat was mounted to where the back was in a good spot then I had no support of my legs and vice versa.
Did you prefer the seat back angle of these because of the design of the seat having more lean back or because you were able to take advantage of more adjustable side mount brackets on these Podiums?
@HonkHonk - Hi, I personally feel it is a much better angle compared to the Porsche buckets. Whereas most people add tilt brackets to the OEM buckets to get the right tilt, the angles of the Recaro seats is correct out of the box.
Bid in the amount of $100
How does the seat back to bottom angle compare to factory Porsche buckets?
@Helix10 - Hi, the seats are medium. Also to note they are most comfortable buckets seats I have ever sat in. They are also the lightest my installer had ever seen (and he works on a lot of track cars).
@Markgresc - Hi and sorry for any confusion with the invoice. I included that to share the price I paid for the seats and brackets new. The seats are located with me in Virginia. No customs or duties involved.
Are these medium or large? Thank you.
Are these in VA or outside USA? Have they cleared customs as I see the note about tariffs as buyers responsibility? I may be overlooking invoice that says included in photo gallery that shows they have been imported and all clear?
