As for the stock seats, you can remove the back padding as you have done to make the bolsters a little more supportive, and you can remove the bottom seat cover and remove some foam (on the part you sit on top of) to lower yourself a bit as well. Usually, people do this to try to meet the broomstick rule at the track.

For the record, I vote torsen as well.

I have my second track day jan 2nd and third track day jan 11th, This is why i cant make a decision.
I also need to get a passenger side 5 point harness for the = or better safety for instructors.

Personally... I'd build a pool of funds til I found the appropriate item on craigslist or some local board. If a pair of seats pops up for like 200 bucks.. I'd get them.. if the Torsen pops up for like 500.. I'd get that. My opinion is biased though because I'm a craigslist prostitute who paid 500 total for seats and torsen

If still at stock power and can shift softly, then do the seat...but even with stock power the 6" ring is living on borrowed time and borrowed money
Sleepin' on the street there ain't a damn thing funny
Hand me down food and hand me down clothes
A rockabilly past of which nobody knows
Makes his home all over the place
He goes to sleep by falling down on his face
Sometimes known as the leader of the homeless
Sometimes drunk and he's always phoneless
Sleepin' on the street in a cardboard box
He's better off drinkin' than smokin' the rocks

the stock seats suck (i have taken the foam out of both parts) i was sliding all over the car while at NHIS. After that 2 day event my back/legs/arms were sore granted I’m 6'3 and i cant have my arms in the correct position and have my feet on the pedals so i had to compromise. I have never been sore like that after driving my dads car with cobra imola 2 gt seats and 6 points.
that being said you can drive away in pain you cant drive away with a blown dif.
