IM 6 foot and 80kg and find the Elise seats not snug. I tend to be resting one side or the other.

I have sports seats [similar to old style Recaro seats) in my E30 BMW and they are snug. I feel the bolsters on the back and the seat holding me, but in the Elise not so.

How do you find them?

The weight goes up and down not side to side.

What seats do you have? Probax or standard? I did an "upgrade" on my standard seats with some foam imported from the US. Didn't improve them as such but let me change the shape of them. Maybe you could put some inserts under the main seat pad to alter it? Where is it not fitting?

I find the same thing in my 111S. I could do with having the bolsters about 2-3cm closer together. I'm 6' and about 68kg though, so I'm even skinnier than you. smile

Same here. There's not much to brace against when turning sharp right is there!

I believe the correct PH solution is to carry more cash in your trouser pockets.

6 foot 10 (minus a foot) and nearly breaking into 3 figures for weight. Seat is nicely bit snug to be honest!

That only works for the butler in the passenger seat

I'm taller & a bit lighter and didn't have that problem, with the S1 111S seats.

Actually having a drive the other day, its ok in a straight line but hard cornering tends to push you to one side or the other.
