Have recently bought 996 2001 coupe. Its great apart from sea comfort! Am 5 feet 7 inches, getting really bad ache in lower bac despite varying seat height, back rest angle etc. Any tips? Can yo alter the height of the front of the seat rather than just the back Thank
I have a 2002 996 coupe.
I think Porsche offered an option that would lower the entire seat by
10MM - if they accomplished this by removing spacers you might be able to do the same. Your dealer or service provider might know for sure.Rennlist.com is a good source of info - they have forums devoted to specific models and somebody there probably has a definitive answer.
I'm surprised at your discomfort - I'm 6'2" and the Porsche is heaven on long trips for me.........
I...ummmm...use a back pillow. Hey! I have a bad low-back (my front ain't so good, either!) and it gives me *much* better support. It's a little bean-bag style pillow and works very well. It's also black which matches the interior. Find a "Relax-the-Back" store or equivalent and they'll have something.

Can you play any games with *tilt*? I find it really helps to adjust the front of the seat up/down until you find a better position. Although I've always found Porsche has the most comfortable seats in the industry. I couldn't believe how comfortable my '62 356 was on long trips. Of course, that was compared to the '65 Mustang I had that I threw rocks at after driving the Porsche. :-)
