BTW, in case others didn't pick up your caveat, save for the very high end ($$$$) I wouldn't put much faith in the FIA ratings of most mass market racing seats sold today. You're safer in the stock Porsche seats which will not crumple around you like a Pepsi can in a road accident. Something to consider if you're planning on keeping the Boxster streetable. A second hand pair of GT3 seats are much better as these actually had to pass German road car safety standards which I trust more than the FIA's 'seal of approval' pasted onto cheap Sparco, OMP, etc. seats. And GT3 seats bolt right into the existing holes in the floorboard. 10 minutes to swap out for each side with a simple socket wrench. Plus, obviously much lighter than stock.
