Re: Any way to improve seat support?
The bucket part of the seat isn't pronounced enough in the B5/C5. I had a look when we got to our destination (after the banged head incident) and she's just sort of perched in the middle of the seat. Even with the back of the horizontal section at its lowest setting they're just not sculpted (if that's the right word) enough to hold small people in place.

I agree the seats aren't the most supportive, my mates vxr seats were bloody brilliant.

The seats in the R8 are good. I wonder if they would fit.

Aren't they TT seats? TT seats come with a centrally mounted buttplug, right? Let's wait for Amar to come along, he drove a TT recently.Shoppinit wrote:The seats in the R8 are good. I wonder if they would fit.

Re: Any way to improve seat support?
...i would avoid any possibility to install TT (related) stuff in my car, i dont even park next to a TT. My door will get dents....cos its a woman car, like the Mini Cooper (s)
If you can't go to the track, bring the track to you.

The old M5 seats used to move the bolsters in as you cornered at high speed.ChrisRS6 wrote: I remember my mate's old M3 which had electrically adjustable boulsters which helped to adjust the support which was very useful.

OK Shop, Ginger - did you get you CG-locks, and were they any good??

Re: Any way to improve seat support?
Yup, got my CG-Lock but haven't had time to use it. I'm going out for a hoon later so I'll try it today and let you know.
I put a 4 point harness in the M3 yesterday and took it for a blast, so it'll be interesting to compare the different levels of support.
