My Sparco Rev Plus are pretty comfortable with a lumbar bolster. I can drive for 5+ hours and still feel decent.

ordering my KW club sports today

Install date of mods will be mid march or early april me thinks, depends on how long the winter beater lasts... then i can try to start dialing in the freaking KW's to try to get the right settings. :shootsselfinfoot:

I'll be going with the SoS ultralight weight flywheel and the Centerforce Dual Carbon clutch/pressure plate combo. (SoS FW pending drive of Aaron's S later on
Huge improvement right out of the box.

The key is the lumbar support. Sparco sells a lumbar pad that has velcro, it just sticks on the seat where you need it. You could use if for most cloth seats.

Didn't know you went with the same seat I had. For me it took a little getting used to at first, but once I did, I didn't have a problem with comfort.

Also, it was my first-ever racing bucket- wasn't accustom to such support.

yeah? the reason i got them over the V3's was because i'm used to a 12kg/mm spring, allbeit on a horrible coilover (megan racing track series). the V3 has like a 9.5 kg/mm and the CS has like a 10.5ish kg/mm i think. I figured a 10.5 on a much much better system is better than a 12 on a crappy system. Also, i got the clubsports for REALLY cheap BNIB from germany (2200).

I'm currently on stock with lowering springs... but being in the city, and needing to be able to drive my car as a dd in the summer, i need to be able to have the height adjustable, so going with like koni/springs wasn't an option for me.

Plus, i didn't want to have to buy new suspension down the road if this becomes a nearly 100% track car, you know when i'm Skips age jk No but really, in like 3-4 years when i'm a bit more established.

The word you're looking for is "dainty"

He usually smells nice too.

You'll love the KW Club Sport coilovers. I'll never forget the first track event I did after the swap from PSS9 coilovers to standard V3s. It was by far the biggest jump in my driving ability. The car was so much more controllable in a slide. I felt like Superman sliding around Shenandoah. I kind of had an out-of-body-experience as I watched myself do stuff in the car that I had never done before, it was very cool. I had definitely outgrown the PSS9s and didn't realize it.

On another subject, when I pulled my air conditioning I looked for a how-to and didn't find squat so I did one after I got everything out. If you're considering pulling the A/C here's the link:
