GT3 drivers seat for long distance touring

[solihull]

I'm thinking about putting in a GT3 seat to replace my worn stock drivers seat (not a sport seat). Most of my trips in this car are occasional long distance drives. Once a year I drive to Florida and back. Do you think it's insane to put in a GT3 seat for this type of driving? Wonder how much a replacement leather sport OEM seat is?

Thanks for your thoughts!

IMHO....I drive 3 hour trips and love the GT3 seats....much more support. I did put custom padding (memory foam) in some spots (easy to do as the pads are velcroed together), but love the fit. Of course I would recommend you try them out for your body size.

I've done 15 hour trips with less fatigue than with the sport seats that were in the car originally. For me personally, I find the euro GT3 seats much more supportive and comfortable than the stock seats but then I am not one who likes to lay down when they drive. If you like to drive with a large amount of recline angle you won't like them. If you prefer a more upright seating position you won't miss the lack of back adjustment.
