I've got these in my s3 supersport, very supportive and comfortable. Been a couple of 3 hour drives with passenger and have no comfort related complaints. The front of the seat pad is quite high to support the underside of your legs which leaves little clearance to the underside of the wheel. I fit at 5'10", removable wheel helps, if your way over 6' it might be tight. I think the holes for the harness are too high but no major issue.

Oh, they look great in the car

OK, thanks for the good info.
Do you have a low floors?
How do you compere them to the "CARBON/KEVLAR BUCKET SEAT-S/LIGHT R500" ?

[Boss Hogg]

I have standard floor height. Not sat in the Carbon/Kevlars so cannot compare directly. If I was 80% Track vs 20% Road use I'd go for Carbon /Kevlar, for me it's the other way round hence the leather GTs. The softer base and extra padding helps with longer road stints, bumps, potholes etc.

Pointless thread really, as seats are a very personal thing.
What suits some, cripple others, so the best advice I could give you is get yourself down to Caterham, and try them all.
I had the Carbon/Kevlar tillets in my R300 road car, and I wouldn't choose anything else. I found them sooo comfortable. Others hate them.
So you see how different everyone's opinion is?
