Porsche Cayman with Buddy Club Racing Spec Seats
The Porsche Cayman is a mid-engine, rear wheel drive 2-seat sports car produced by Porsche AG of Germany. First launched in the 2006 model year, the Cayman is a coupe derived from Porsche's second generation Boxster convertible. Like the Boxster, most Caymans are assembled in Finland for Porsche by Valmet Automotive (the rest are assembled in Zuffenhausen near Stuttgart, Germany).
After two years of development, the first model of the coupe to be released was the Cayman S. The S suffix (an acronym for Sport or Special) indicated that this was a higher performance version of a then unreleased normal model. That model, the Cayman, went on sale in July 2006. A motorsport-tuned model, the Cayman RS, is rumored to have been tested at the Nürburgring that same year.
The Cayman coupe and the second generation Boxster convertible share the same mid-engine platform and many components, including the front fenders and trunk lid, side doors, headlights, taillights and forward portion of the interior. The design of the Cayman's body incorporates styling cues from two classic Porsches; the 550 Coupe and the 904 Coupe. Unlike the Boxster, the Cayman has a large hatchback for access to luggage areas on top and in back of the engine cover. The suspension design is fundamentally the same as that of the Boxster, but features revised settings appropriate to the increase in chassis stiffness resulting from the Cayman's fixed roof.
If you are truly looking to style up your Cayman, then good custom seats are a logical upgrade. There are many aftermarket companies out there that produce quality bucket racing seats for either road or track use. Prices can vary from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars for top of the line seats depending on your taste and the size of your bankroll.
Beside the bling effect of having some sweet looking Racing Spec seats in your vehicle there are some performance benefits. Because racing s seats are made out of lighter materials than your factory seats they reduce the overall weight of your vehicle which is always a positive for tuning.
Racing Spec Seats are universal for all vehicles; however, all Racing Spec seats will need to latch to a seats rail, which is car specific. Make sure there is a rail available for your vehicle, or otherwise you can customize your stock one to fit your aftermarket seats.
Buddy Club Seats, the maker of the popular Racing Spec seats is one of the heavy hitters in the aftermarket racing seats industry. Many others try to match the quality of craftsmanship of the Racing Spec seats but few succeed.
Buddy Club's original racing bucket seat frame is designed to give full support for any driving condition. It is light weight and yet super strong. Racing Spec seats are made with only the finest materials. Suede is used on key areas of the seat to avoid premature wear and tear caused by the factory 3 point seat belt. A high quality fiber mesh material is used on the seating surface and wool mat is used on the back side surface for better air circulation.
Buddy Club Racing Spec seats provide body support for reduced fatigue and best driving position. The weight of these seats is only 11 pounds. A unique buckle frame technology was used to produce one of the strongest bucket seats available.
