I hope someone with more experience chimes in to confirm....

But as I understand it, there IS a difference in the side bolsters. In fact, my dealer said that the reason most P-cars are ordered with standard seats vs sport is that larger framed drivers feel the bolsters in the Sport seats are too confining so they would need the Adaptive Sport seats so they can open them up and this just adds too much cost. EDIT: This was for 987! I didn't ask about 986.

Again, hoping someone else confirms.

When I sat in both I found the standard sport seats kept my shoulders from opening up fully--like they were being scrunched forward---I found it very uncomfortable. The openings in the "wings" as you put it allowed my shoulders to snuggle in better-- fit like a glove. I didn't pay attention to side bolsters to note the difference. Probably because I'm small at 5' 7" and 135lbs!!

Does anyone have any experience in changing seats in a boxster? I took out the original seats in my 1999, and had purchased some replacement seats from Ebay that I had reupholstered. For some reason, I can't get the seats to go down....power is working..but they won't go down....any ideas?


Thanks in advanced..
