CloseDuckieRS:Still prefer the Carrera GT seat though...
That's a very nice seat! Nice and low...

DuckieRS:Find them a bit loose at 'mon derrière'. Girlfriend urges me to eat more, but a small cushion for the lower back might help. Never had that complaint with the foldable on my multiple trips to UK (back and forth in one day)...
Thanks 
How are you held by the shoulders ?
DuckieRS:No problem in the shoulder area. Perfectly fine and 'snug'.
Am on the fence myself regarding seats. Porker will find it horrific, but might even have a comfort seat for the passenger side.

Thanks Eric. However, you're not wearing a HANS. Once you wear a HANS, you have less space and flexibility. This is very different from only wearing a helmet.
If I recall correctly, you have recently purchased a HANS? Try to get the same photo while wearing a helmet LOL. Just kidding. But I'm interested in hearing your opinion after you have had some time wearing the HANS in the RS, after your next trackday maybe.
Do you find that you slide sideways in the seats while cornering hard?

If you zoom into the pic of me in our Le Castellet thread, you can see my HANS touching the headrest. But I sit a bit higher, so more upright. It was like that the whole time, but I don't think it would be appreciably different in the other buckets.

In this pic I was probably pushing my head froward to go faster ( While texting ) 
Next track is Mugello on the 8th of July . I will be wearing my HANS and will let you know . Hope the same photographer will be there

I have narrow hips ( size 31 in jeans ) . Ideally I would like the seat to be more tight , but I have not felt uncomfortable driving in it on track . With the harness tight to the maximum in hold in place . It would probably be better in the foldable one for that, but for my usage it does not bother me .

Porker:If that's true, the name LWB is a bit out of place.
I concur. They are still "light" at 17.5 kg, however the name is misleading, because it makes you assume that the LWB seats are the lightest of the two, which isn't the case. It's a marketing trap.
I don't understand why they don't offer the CGT-seats on the side then, as a real lightweight option. They are brilliant and they are extremely light.

probably heavier due to the electric motor for adjusting seat height

no side airbags?
I know, but that's not an obligation in EU as far as I know?

Gauss:vantagesc:If anyone has a source for a driver's side LWB for my existing car, please let me know. Want to swap it in and out for track with my sofa seat.
Buy the Recaro P1300 that Mike suggested.
Wonderful seat, but not possible to drive to and from the track in these, not 3-point compatible. Would also prefer to retain side airbag, but I guess in some sense, all dual track / road cars are compromised in some way.
