Porsche Boxster 987 Bucket Seat Guide
The Porsche Boxster 987 story...
The Porsche Boxster 987 is a mid-engine, two-seater roadster, offering excellent weight distribution for improved handling, especially through corners. Porsche produced this model from 2005 to 2012, refining its performance and design over its predecessor. When pushing your Boxster 987 on fast roads or the track, you’ll quickly realize the need for proper bucket seats to provide the extra support required for spirited driving.
On cornering, you may find yourself holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position yourself after the corner.
None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported allowing you to focus on the job at hand.
We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our Porsche Boxster 987 guide. The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.
Recommended brackets: (Bucket seats)
We recommend using these pieces of installation equipment to install our side-mounted fixed back bucket seats, and our base-mounted sports recliners.
Side mounts will be needed when installing side-mounted bucket seats paired with a base frame like the Planted Technology bracket, or you can use an all-in-one fitting kit from PCI Racing that works with side-mounted seats only.
For base mounting steel frame bucket seats or sports recliners, our Planted Technology bracket, paired with a sliding runner it the best set-up for a direct fit into your Porsche.
