Loving the new seat, although I wish it sat just a tad shorter in the car, but I don't want to blow the cash for the BK floor mount option.

Thats for my wife, or the kids' car seats, none of which would enjoy or fit respectively in a GT3 seat, not to mention the cost!

I probably wont spring for GT3 seats. In any event, track rules dictate the same on both sides if you ever have another person in the car.

very nice. Enjoy.

track rules are ...

... for equal restraint system, not equal seats.
You can have a race seat and a regular seat, just as long as both people only use the 3 point seatbelt.
when you're alone you can buckle up with the 5 or 6 point harness.
Happy Boxstering,

Thanks everyone, the seat is great, it is really amazing how much this thing holds you in place. I wasn't really concerned about track time, as my car is mostly a toy at this point, don't have the time or cash for getting to the track!
Frogster, yes, the seat still slides, if I bought the low man brackets from Brey Kraus, it would be stationary, but not sure if I'll go this course. All in all, i'm pretty pleased, it was a deal I couldn't pass up. The seat is not perfect cosmetically, but for the price, well, I can work on my leather repair skills!
Gundo, hopefully I will be able to make it to TSBL and we can try to shoehorn you in!
