Hard shell seats, how hard are they ?
Im still not sure which seats are better.
Im thinking about the raceseats from Westfiels but they are very expensive. On the other hand, the seats from MK look very nice too but aint they a
litle hard for your but when you drive around for a few hours ?

can't really comment on the westfield seats cos i don't think i've seen them but i was having a look at the mk ones yesterday, they
look perfect for what they are made for but yeah i would have to question how comfortable they are on a long trip but then again how comfortable is
the car going to be on a whole for a long trip

Depends entirely on how much natural padding you have. We have the MK fibreglass seats which are surprisingly comfy. I've driven our Locost on
and off for two days round a circuit and have found it perfectly comfortable. Once you get some speed up the you skip over the bumps anyway.

Marco,
I've been in de the MK seats (well, actually the original Caterhams) for a whole day, touring in a V8 Rush (unfortunately, as a passenger). I
was really suprised by the comfort. Soo, when I found out MK supplies them, I just had to have them.....

Ive had many happy hours in MK seats thinking there great. But after upgrading to Intatrim Odyssey they totally improve the ride, decrease in noise
and vibration are the first things you notice esp in a high reving blade. Comfort factor for me hard seats are a NO NO. Treat yourself!!!

I've had some padded covers made for my early type MK seats,should take out most of the vibration and give a bit more comfort,cost very little
to have made up by a local trimmer.(see my archive for photo)......
Once I've finished a project why do I start another?

Some people use the camping carry mats, as someone said, also someone used some neoprene (wetsuit material) just find someone who has an old wetsuit
they dont mind you cutting up.
