They don't do that great of a job holding me as I'm a bigger guy (6'3 260lbs) as say Bstigs recaro's with harnesses do haha. I know the car is easily 2-3 seconds faster a lap there but I need to stay in my seat. I'm faster around the right hand turns than left ones b/c I can brace myself with the door some vs flying into nothing on left hand turns.

Seats and a roll bar are on my winter project list b/c of that fact.
I use my legs to hold myself in the seat and I'm pretty aggressive in the corners. I'm also running AD08s and love them, the amount of grip is unreal. I see no need to move to r-compound.
