And of course there's the added safety benefit as well. And I guess it depends on personal tolerance (and age lol), but at 28 years old I daily'd my M3 with deeply bolstered fixed backs (OMP First R) for about a year and the only real inconvenience I experienced was not being able to hold something in my hand(s) while getting in/out of the car (so you just have to walk around to the passenger seat).
Yea stock seats and QFP sucks. I've been running them for most of this season, and am quite excited for the half cage, seats, and harness upgrade to get done. Fighting to control (and feel) the car and your own body is counterproductive to say the least.
