Seat differences between 997 and 996

[navin in KC]

I definitely fit in a 997 seat/car better. The steering wheel has much more movement telescopically and does tilt in a 997.

The problem is: I like the 996 much better. I'm looking at a 2004 C4S Cab.

Is there a way to lower the seat in a 996?

Could I just buy 997 seats out of a wrecked one someday and would they fit?

I appreciate any help?

Really, I am 6-3 and don't have a problem in my 996. I even have a subwoofer behind my seat in the footwell. You must be a tall SOB

I seem to recall an option for the 996 models - lower seat height by smaller seat frame spacers (between seat rails and floor) I think they were 10mm lower than the standard seat mounts - may not be anough, but would be something......call your local Porsche dealer and ask the service manager if such an option exists........
