Similar for me. 6'2" and 170lbs. I love the LWB seats and my wife has even fallen asleep in the passenger seat over an extended drive. I would like them a little narrower for the track but they work well for the street. Also I wouldn't mind having them just a little bit lower than they already are.

Also a fan of the LWBs. I'm 5'11 160 so they fit me perfectly and feel plenty comfortable. Drove across the country with 8-12 hours of seat time per day and never had a single complaint about the seats. For track use I would like them to be a touch narrower, as others have said, but my car isn't a track car so I don't have to care about that incredibly small detail.

I’ve had three GT3s. Two with the racing buckets and I specced this last one with the 4 ways. I’m 65 can’t get to the track very often and I love driving in the Idaho back country.
who says you have to have uncomfortable seats to be a gt3 driver? When I specced my last car I sat in a car with the carbon backed seats and they’re highly uncomfortable to me.
so I got the lightest comfortable seats I could because this might be my last gt3. The 4 ways
Sheesh when I first started tracking 95% of us tracked. Now it’s less than 40%. So what it’s their money. It’s not for
any of us to judge. My first 996 gt3 was a Manthey. I think it’s ridiculous that people worry about deviated stitching matching their headlight rings. But it’s not my car or my money.
when it’s your money you can start worrying about how someone specs their car.

Anyone who feels the OEM buckets are not comfy, you should try them with the recline brackets. They are now my favorite seat in the world.

SO what you guys are saying is I should have bought this, it went for 280K, and put proper seats in it and taken it to the track.
