I was VERY pleasantly surprised that the fit in the LWB's was BETTER and felt bigger than in the GT4. Still very tight for my back and shoulders, but certainly do-able! And SOOOO glad I was 'forced' to get them, as they look great and serve a function for the track.
I do want to look into adding some padding for lower lumber support.
If I can get the lumber fixed, I MAY be able to use them for long road trips. Hoping at least...

Update us on the padding would love to see how you deal with it!

Will do! The car is getting full treatment right now and I'm expecting FabSpeed to be posting the process.

LWB lumbar support, easiest thing to do. Very simple, no cost and extremely effective. See Rennlist post below

I only put 44 miles on her before sending it away for 3+ weeks of mods, but I VERY quickly could tell the drive was going to be heavenly. Looking forward to getting her back!

Phil, Now you know why I was called a Porsche Fanboy on the M forum, but that is because the Bimmer was really disappointing me compared to some of the previous generations. Now I am Porsche-less while I wait for my GT3 allocation / shopping on the used market. Imagine the itch I have for these cars.
Congratulations on your GT3! We should meet up at a car meet.

I'll be looking to move back to a place with at least a 3-car some point in 2017 most likely.

seems alittle unfair to compare the GT3 to a M5.
i think M-cars AND P-cars have their pluses and minuses. but i'm preaching against the choir i suppose. the only porsche i've owned and tracked was a 944.
the reason i hang around is i'm a great fan of the 911. but not a fanboi by any means (even of BMWs)
