I'll try scooting seats back for easier egress, moral of the story is this….if you don't have LWBs, don't fret there are pros and cons, I've driven the Ring with 18 way sport seats and they were fine and they had seat heating too

Only issue I noticed with a helmet is that it tends to push your chin to your chest a bit (headrest is a little too fully padded).

Yes ***** hurt and it's more of a pain in *** vs sofas to get in and out but I DONT CARE, as long as I can open door all the way and brace door sill as others have stated I can get in and out No problem.

I'm 5'11'' and have no problem with my helmet on as long as seat is in lowest position.

While OP is hilarious I personally didn't get LWBs for looks...I got them to keep my fat *** from moving around at the limit which they do well.

I don't have a love/hate with these seats at all...it's all love and for me these are the best seats available from Porsche for GT3.

Weight Watchers is now including a free one month trial with LWB equipped cars. I sometimes regret not getting LWBs.

I confirmed that I didn't want LWBS the very moment I first sat in them. Trust me, I wanted to like them.

I had the 996 clubsport seats in my old GT3 and loved them...
