Default TAG MOTORSPORTS LWB SEAT BRACKETS. IMPROVED SEATING POSITION!!







Do you have LWB in your GT4 and you aren’t too comfortable with the seat angle?



These Black Anodized Aluminum Seat Brackets attach to the two front mounting points of the Porsche LWB Seats, increasing the angle of recline by 3º, for those that think the angle of the seat is too far forward.



GET THEM HERE ON OUR SITE!

just got GT4 w/LWB, I'm sure they're awesome for the track (I know sofa seats are not great for track), but personally getting in and out pretty much sucks...

I'll take sport seats

Sport seats definitely better for daily driver GT4 but can't be LWB for any kind of spirited driving. Anyone install these yet? How was the install and does the 3 degree angle make much of a difference?

I've had these brackets for a few months now and they've made the LWB so much more bearable. It's not just the angle of your back that aids in comfort, but also the increase in under-thigh support. Will definitely be installing them again on my incoming RS.

Can anyone compare the angle of the seats with these installed compared to the angle with the Autoquest adjusters installed? I sat in an RS with the Autoquest ones installed and the seat was leaned back too much for me. Would be nice to find a setup with more angle than OE but less than with the Autoquest setup.

I spent hours of my time coming up the original Trackspec Autosports LWB brackets, had an engineer make the CAD drawings, and had a local machine shop make them. It took multiple revisions, but I finally got it right. We are a small shop and not in the business of manufacturing parts. This was just a project I did by a customer's request. It's sad to see that people in this industry will completely rip you off- especially big shops like TAG Motorsports. This product is not just similar, it is an EXACT COPY.

When I first saw these I thought they were purchased from Trackspec Autosports and rebranded for sale by another vendor. Guess I was wrong. I have a set from Trackspec and wouldn't hesitated to buy them again from Trackspec.

This sure looks like a copy of the design from Trackspec. Jon designed this and posted it in Trackspec FB page a few months ago:

· From L to R: 1) Handmade prototype 2) Machined prototype 3) Final product (now in stock!). Many GT3 & GT4 owners have complained that their non-reclinable Porsche Carbon Fiber LWB seats are too upright, especially when wearing a helmet. These brackets that we've designed tilt back the seats very slightly, making it more comfortable for most. Buy them now on our website http://trackspecauto.com/?fbclid=IwAR3vKG-gC79RN0SZ4MorBrDK_w9-jM0i_PV1XFqtispakFb8v7HCtiNhz3g
