Default who has both street gt3 and cup car?

if your street GT3 has euro "darth vader" seats, compare the seat sliders to your cup car. the street car seats glides smoothly like silk on the seat rails, does your cup car seat glides like that or is it always feel stuch and less smooth?

Cup car definitely is less smooth and feels like it gets stuck. Don't know why that is so.

It is pretty easy to bolt the sliders down so that they're not parallel. If it still sticks with the bolts loose, I guess it's the sliders themselves.

Anyway, what's the cause of the question -- you're buying a Cup? (I'll take that RS off your hands.)

With my fat @$$ in the seat it the street car slides smooth, but the race seat never seem to work as well. Then I just bolted it in place, so now it never moves!

no cuppie me.
just trying to find nice sliding seat rails.
so the reply matches what i have seen in person. i have not seen sparco, recaro, omp or whatever sliders that works well. i am going to rip up my GT3 vader seats and just use those sliders with whatever seats i choose.

Mooty, remember that the sliders in the vader seats are hefty (11.5 lbs). You take some sacrifices going witht the crappy but light sliders from Sparco and Recaro. The ultimate solution is to bolt the seat to the floor, but it doesn't work for me as I share my car with better drivers to learn and try to get better.
