seats

What are front seat options for the F82 in terms of getting more support but preserving all of the features of the stock seats - heating, electronic adjustment and memory, etc?

Just feel like the stock seats hug the sides of the body well, but the hip/leg support could be a little better / higher / more snug.

Maybe this would be too good to be true? Hah

Yeah the seats are cozy, but wanting for support when pushing/tracking. On my list for upgrades.

I've seen a few of these and they look OEM+.

Prabhul Dev on YouTube has a couple of episodes where they show and dive into some interior mods.

G8X carbon buckets? Might not be plug and play but imagine someone could make them work.

Woweee I had considered this option but some are selling a pair for nearly 20k! Beautiful though, and pretty much what I’m looking for.

Personally I wasn’t impressed with g8x buckets on track compared to f8x seats. Seems like they are for looks rather than say Porsche buckets.

Need buckets like the M4CSL. Sat in those and they are spot-on for the job. Loved my Porsche GT4 Buckets.

Issue seems that to really lock you in, you need really good hip support. Most of the seats I’ve looked at that are OEM+, are absent good hip support so you don’t lose the recline functionality.
