Changing CSL seats
Hi
What seats do people change to on the CSL ones and what brakes. Looking at a couple of CSL's at the moment and just trying to get an idea on the costs of these parts Is there anything major to look out for on the CSL Thanks Faisal |

why change seats? are you tracking it so you need more of a race seat?
brakes - go APs or the Alcon sets that Lawsy/shimmy are selling. pads have to be Pagids.

I Found the CSL seats very comfortable........6 hours without a break, and in my RRS I had to get out every 2 hours.

If you on road stick to OeM brakes maybe with better pads and fluid but if you track it get APs front discs and callipers (or both) or alternatively Alcons as an option.

+100 % on a brake upgrade AP's/Alcons just to name 2 setups that are widely used Pad/fluid/goodridge lines are more than enough for spirited road driving As for seats and having gone this route I would stick to oem seats as they're the comfiest by a mile....however if you're trackdaying then there's numerous routes...I went recaro spa's with 6 point scroth harnesses which are superb....shimmy and a few other Trackday kings have gone for Recaro SPG which gives you a little more room! |
