If you are planning on PCA racing with the car I am not sure the GMG bracket would be legal as I believe the sub anchors need to be mounted to the chassis.

The key to sitting lower in the car are the seat mounts and sliders, not the seat itself. I found I had to modify the side plates so the seat could be mounted lower, and use recaro sliders rather than factory. As mentioned above, no sliders would be even better.

New Seats

Went to HMS motorsports outside of Charlotte and sat in all the seats they had, the owner was super nice, knowledgable. Ended up with Cobra Sebring pro-fit. Now just to get them installed. Brings me to next question.
Is there a harness bar, that is made for boxster. Probably be running a few events before I can get the full cage in. Seems like if no harness bar, no harnesses, no seats, as the 3 point restraint won't work with the cobras.

The Cobra is a nice seat.

Harness attachment point and shoulder strap angle is critical but often our roll bar is just right. Check your harness install instructions and start taking measurements.
