OMP WRC XL might be worth looking into also. I know people like the Airtex material and one of the things that sells them on the seat.
Also it may cost more than other places but Amazon sells the seat with free returns. Just an option

Good to know! 1320 shop near me has one for $720, maybe I should ask how their returns work if anything goes wrong

Ah okay. I was saying if it didn’t fit that you could return it. But if you have one local to you then that’s a better deal.

They let me sit in it and I have to say it feels real comfy, enough so to feel more comfy then my base model seats yet more sturdy in the waist and shoulder areas

I finally got out to do an event this weekend. I forgot how awful Texas heat is, especially here in southeast Texas.

It was my first time AutoXing with the R12/R10 combo, and the 305 Bridgestones. The 'stones feel like the 660's do on day one IMO. The turn in is better than the 660, and the lateral grip was really good, even when getting them baking hot. Pressures were pretty much unchanged from the 660's, and temps across the tire were pretty even.

We will see how they hold up. But first impressions are really good.

@mavisky how is my form...me and some close friends got the Cobalt Filly out for pics, inspired by you and your Flatplanefury. More to come. Two autocross events coming up and two track days. Seat time seat time seat time, just like you all advised! Also will be adding Sparco seats, harnesses, and roll cage soon to the mix so I can stop floppin around like a rag doll.

Looks great. I can't take photos to save my life, but luckily I've met a few people who actually can LOL.

For your viewing pleasure, Strano 22mm bar vs bmr 25 mm rear bar.

currently the BMR is installed full stiff. I don’t care if I live or die, I will be entertained at the next event Saturday.

Edit now that I'm at a PC: I have been very unhappy with the understeering since installing the wing, even at very low AoA. I drove a CSM Mustang a few weeks ago and it was so darn fun to have some eager rotation and life in the vehicle. So now I'm just going for a Mustang that eagerly throttle steers. Hopefully this gets me there.

Well, add an OS Gilken to my rebuild list. Diff bushings were shot, might as well rebuild the pumpkin while it's out. I'm excited to check out this fancy diff to see if it's worth the money on an autocross course.

Friend of mine just put one in his ST BRZ and he claims its seriously good.

In other news, the motor transplant is well underway. The old engine is out and the new Voodoo was getting it's OPGs and upgrades yesterday.

So surprisingly, a BMR 25mm rear swaybar on full stiff can produce a drivable car:



I'm very happy with the result. 3rd in PAX. Car much more enjoyable and based on the numbers, faster.

I'll admit I'm a little surprised you're not struggling with oversteer coming out of corners, but it hell ya it definitely looks like its carving really well!

knowing what was on the car, it was psychologically difficult to “just drive” for most of the day, but it seems to be basically fine. I’m not changing it for next event.

What front bar do you have that paired with? I found out last weekend that I have been preferring a stiffer rear bar than what is typically suggested.

Glad this is coming up, as I have been curious where to go in terms of sway bars.

BMR 38mm on full soft. Before the wing, that much front bar made sense. I'm on GT350R springs, so pretty soft by AX standards.
