Default New Owner. Help with bucket seats

Hey Everyone!
really excited to get me 2016 gt3RS next week.. switching it up from a few Lamborghinis in the past few years.

I was wondering if there is anything I can do to recline the bucket seats in any way at all.

Thank you!

I have recline brackets from Trackspec Autosports. In my opinion, they make the angle perfect.

As far as I know, one option is these pivot arms from AutoQuest, which simply angles the entire seat back a bit, but there is no change to the angle of the back in relation to the seat itself:

While you have the seats out for the install ---- good time to remove the yellow warning sticker from setbacks if desired (use search for procedure). Also, best opportunity to ease the passenger seat cushion off without breaking the retainer clip since you can get at it straight on with both hands. And clean the inside of the rear windows.....

I installed one from Trackspec for my passenger seat, mainly for my wife. I fully intended to install one on the driver's seat but I have gotten used to the seat position and really don't think I should change it. It's really fine the way it is for even a 3-4 hour drive, and if I raise the driver seat closer to the steering wheel it might make it that much more difficult to get in and out. And you already have to be a Chinese gymnast or in Cirque Du Soleil to gracefully enter and leave these seats.
