a quick bucket thought

[Laura]

just thinking do buckets hold your posture better i find myself really sloucjhing and leaning to one side in standard seats , will buckets and harnesses help stop this, just thinking of ways to help my back out

 

[Rufstuf]

They will definitely stop you leaning to the side due to the high side bolsters, they wont stop you slouching though. Only you can correct your posture. Try driving whilst balancing a book on your head

I get sore backs all the time and I think my fixed back buckets are more forgiving than the standard seats tbh.

not really, as i find myself loosening off the belts and slouching down in them, although IMO the std 172 seats are the worse seats in the world if you have a dodgy back!

^^ i agree i slouch just as much in buckets as with standard seats

Buckets are torture for backs, especially on long journey's.

I find that without a crotch strap, no matter how tight the harnesses are, my bum slowly slides forwards, meaning my back is bent

 

[mini-valver]

I found that they made me slouch more as you cant recline them to lean back and so you slouch to compensate if that makes sense?

i got long legs so i cant slouch or ill be using my knees on the pedals!!

i get alot less back pain with my buckets compared to the stock rs seats

Yeah i agree i adjust the side mounts so that the seat is slightly tilted this stops me slouching a bit

Yeah i used to get back ache after long drives with my cheapo cup seats, loads better with the buckets. Those CG locks are supposed to help reduce slouching with std seat belts, but never used one. Get some 6 point race harneses, you wont be slouching with them!

I always lean to the left of my seat...It's actually wearin that side down! I want trophy recaro's.

The standard RS seats dont hold you in for s**t and that lumbar support is good for nothing. With aftermarket seats, I have found that they support you in all the right places and actually promote better posture, not just when sitting in them but also when walking.
