My current configuration has the LWBS (Light Weight Bucket Seats) option and my dealership had a 992 GT3 with the bucket seats that I can sit in to see how they fit me.
Wow, the seats are hardcore!
I definitely need more cushion support to make the car work for me. I plan to use the car as a weekend backroad car with occasional track day use.
For people who have LWBS seats, did the aftermarket seat inserts tremendously help? I also plan to install the angle bracket to help with comfort as well.

What I've seen most people do is add a lumbar pillow.
Another option might be getting the Porsche Bodyform Seat inserts. Porsche sells Soft, Medium, and Hard. That memory foam might make it more comfortable for you.

Yea I'm looking at P1 Designs memory foam inserts as well as lumbar supports. Hoping other people can chime into see if those type of products will be good enough. Otherwise, yea a generic lumbar car support would be able to do the trick as well.

Surprisingly I found once I got in, which is interesting in itself, the seats are quite supportive. Initially, just sitting in the seat ,it may feel hardcore, but once out driving you find how supportive it is and you butt stays glued around corners, you might find you don't need any adjustment. Additionally, if you are really concerned you have time to change the build , I would imagine, since you said it was slated for Spring production. I am a Trackratt ( German pronunciation ,ha ) so I love the idea that I can have a CF factory racing style seat -- one less thing to buy to get it set up for HPDEs, Time Trials,

I'm with Willy on the seats - I love my LWB's and can (and have) sat in them for many hours straight. They might not feel so good at first but time might change that and you might find that they're not as uncomfortable as your first impressions are indicating.
However, with or without inserts/supports, the LWB's are wonderfully supportive. You'll love them either way as they are outstanding seats.
Another benefit is that you can go back and forth with or without inserts and lumbar pillows, so the best of both worlds.

Those might be good, especially for longer rides as mentioned. Price is right too.marin wrote: Sun Jan 07, 2024 9:49 pm Also, FYI. I just found this while browsing the web.
Lumbar support addon for LWBs.

Recently I bought the Sparco Lumbar Cushion
I Installed it under the foam backrest of the LWBS. It turned out really nice, and adds the right amount of lumbar support to my buckets.
When the pad is down, you can't visually tell that the lumbar is underneath.
