Porsche Cayman Bucket Seat Guide

Porsche Cayman Bucket Seat Guide

The Porsche Cayman story...

First launched in the 2006 model year, the Cayman is a coupe derived from Porsche’s second and third generation Boxster roadster, styled in its first iteration. Once you start using your Porsche Cayman for fast road and track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support. 

On cornering, you may find your self 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 your self 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 Cayman guide. The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.
