My current GT has the modified, lowered seat (cushion removed). I've also owned a non-modified GT at the same time. Here are my observations.
Looks:
- If you're looking at the modified seat itself, you cannot tell the difference from the OEM.
- If you look back and forth between the driver and passenger seat, it looks like the passengers seat is extremely padded.
- "Seat Buttons" fit fine in both the modified seat and the OEM seat.
Feel:
- I can tell the difference between the two. Not quite as comfortable for long hauls. But certainly is fine.
- Having said that, I'd take the positives of the lowered seat over the cushion.
- Hoping between my totally OEM GT and my modified GT, it made the OEM drivers seat feel like I was climbing into an F150.
Visibility & the Track:
- I'm 6' and it seemed like the car completely opened up to me visibility wise (other than the rear view).
- I don't have to lean the seat way back and crunch my neck when my helmet is on. Very manageable and comfortable for a day long track session.
**For those of you tracking...there is soon a cool new "kit" that will provide more headroom and a very, very lightweight carbon fiber seat. Keep an eye on Tecnocraft and our GT.
