My current 986 seats are the one with electric back adjustment only. The 987 would be equal in that sense (so not the full electrics). So to my knowledge this would be lowest 986 vs lowest 987..

Does the seat height change differently in the 986 seats compared to the 987 seats?

Reasons for asking is that I have my head too high in the car. Due to my short legs, the seat is quite far forward (which raises the seat) and due to my long body I can't see the top of my instruments nor the traffic lights. The instrument visibility can be improved by reclining the back, but that doesn't help for looking out of the car. Second reason is that I have a set which I can buy for reasonable money, so would be a good deal if it helps my case.

Many thanks

I can only speak to 987 comfort seat. Bolt in to 986 no problem. I think the driver seat sits lower and is much more comfortable. The head rest is an inch higher though. In lowest position all the way back it fills the roll cage arch perfectly.

I’m 6’1” so I drive in this position. It’s more comfortable than original 986 seats and I love the lumbar support.
