    I bought a 2015 Porsche turbo with 18 way seats and find the my thighs rest on the side bolsters making it impossible to drive for more than 10 minutes.Has this happened to anyone and if so what was the remedy. Also does anyone know if they can be switched out for the 14 way seats. Yes I am a fat a..... weighing 290!

    I have done seat switches in Porsches a few times and it is not a very difficult thing to do. I suggest looking on ebay for 14 ways since you will likely be shocked at what the seats cost to order from Porsche.

    Glenn...If you have not done so already, check Rennlist, Pelican, etc. Porsche enthusiast sites. Maybe someone wants to upgrade to the 18-way & will do a swap? Or, may have them for sale. Or, know a source. Post some pics of your sweet new ride...T

    try out the 14 way first.
    it would be a shame to replace the seats, only to find you have the same problem!!

    I thought one of the adjustments on the 18 way seats was the bolsters, which move closer or wider. Not so?
