nice work.
i was pleasantly surprised with how nice a freshly rebuilt 240 seat feels.
Thanks! I was in love at first just because I could sit at rest while still having a good posture. Now that I've had more time with it, I'm curious to see how our eight hour trip to Michigan goes for us. It's pretty darn stiff, but I imagine it will take some time for the cushions to break in. It's already feeling softer than yesterday.
One thing that is very hard to get over is how much more friction is in the freshly textured vinyl. It's no longer easy to just plop in and slide over because the material really puts the brakes on your butt. I have to get partially in, get my feet in, and lean onto the tunnel or passenger seat so that I can lift my butt and reposition. It's kind of a nuisance. Unless you're trying to break track records on a road course with stock seats, these may not be the covers for you. Then again, the texture might wear off and be perfect in a couple months too. Time will tell.
