I thought the 4-ways is identical to 18-ways except it doesn't have all the adjustments?

I hope that mine is stowed next to yours.

We both are buying from Guildford, but it appears that you have better informed SE.

PS. I added your vehicle to the Orders table on PistonHeads

@Pivot No, mine is coming from Cambridge. I was hoping for an update today, but nothing. I suspect the receptionist knows my number now and answers with one of those big sighs.

Your receptionist certainly earned her keep.

My receptionist melts when she sees my Schnauzers , but very firm and proper on the phone

Did you get the standard seat or the sport plus seat? From the photos, it looks like the sport plus seat has wider "wings" at the shoulders.

There is no standard seat on the T. Sport seats 4-way or 18-way.

The 4 way Sports Plus seats are the standard seats. Just installed a set of these and will find out how well they work tomorrow on my way to our Region's Cars & Coffee in Rochester, NY.

I took a 2.5 hr ride in them last weekend to Watkins Glen and back each way, they were fine.

Yes and no. They are both the Sport Seats Plus, but the adjustments add a little height (enough that I fit with 4 ways and less so with 18 ways), many say that after hours in an 18way you may start to feel hard spots where some of the actuators(I order 4 ways every time, so I can't speak directly.) are and they of course add a bit of weight to the car.
