New seat base padding set up ... - Page 2

spanner · 18-03-2009, 12:31 PM

thanks 3 wheels.

I would ideally like to try out both the cushions listed on there. If the thin one would do then all the better.

I would definately have one and would be up for a group buy.

If anyone can locate a uk supplier I would be happy to make the telephone calls.

I got mine from Demon Tweeks in Feb '07 £46.81 + VAT and dealt with Meurig who is top chap.
Product code: REC070.93.035.116
Description: Recaro Thick Cushion

spanner; they both put you same height with the same bum cushions, just the one pictured earlier (as I have) helps hold you in position esp on brakes. Front is quite soft though, is comfy and does not put pressure on back of leg

excellent, just what I needed to know - thanks a million.

How easily does the original base come out? any special techniques?

Now - anyone else want one if I'm ringing demon tweeks??

Just a note

The one that I have as shown has quite a hard base cushion - ended up cutting this out and replacing it with softer foam (my tender behind couldn't cope hahaha)

The thin version of this cushion also works and is a much softer foam.

Either one will work fine and fits perfectly.

The OEM cushion just pulls off ... there's a trim "U" clip on the front that runs the length of the seat front - just pull off (pretty self explanatory if you look at it)

I'd want one just to see if it made an improvement on track.

keep the orders coming in - I'm off to Spa tomorrow but will get onto Demon tweeks early next week to get a price - the more the merrier.

Cheers

In my opinion the flat one would take away seat support under braking, the CSL seat has some benefit on that score. I'd go for one pictured earlier which I put details. Also have tender ass and I have small extra bum cushion for long distance/long time in seat. Even though it's only 1" it's funny how different it makes car feel!

I'll go with 3wheels3 suggestion and go for the one in the picture please Rich

Decided to redo the foam on the recaro cushion - after I figured out the proper way to cut foam - looks much nicer now and bit more cushioning for me soft bum : )
