Default gt3 seats

this past winter i put gt3 seats into my 2004 996 gt3
these are what are called the euro gt3 seats i used the standard rails and simply removed the sport(stock) seats and bolted on the gt3 seats
so here is the question
does any body know if i can change the rake(tilt) on these seats i know i can move them fore and aft but are there any other adjustments one can make
thanks

The lower set of holes for the front of the seat in this pair of brackets can tilt "up" the back more (click on the photo). This is a quite a common set up for racing "shell" seats;

...and you can have a shop fabricate something similar if you want a specific angle.

If you have the standard side brackets that come with the seat (not the B-K aftermarket version shown above) then you can NOT adjust seat angle. The original brackets have only one hole, front and rear, unlike the B-K version.

Do you gents ever wonder why those Clubsport seats have that shape on the top?

As street car seats they were designed to prevent your skull from contacting the optional club sport or tequipment roll bar in a crash. As the GT3 is dual purpose car, you and/or your passenger are not usually wearing helmets.
