Thank you

i've sat in both and CS is almost the same as stock for me if you're looking for more lateral support, PP is much better in this department
but i guess it depends on your size as well, probably should try it in person if you can

CS isn't the same as stock nor is it "too big"

Its an in between seat from OEM and full on bucket

This really comes down to preference. Ive sat in both and I've owned several Recaro seats and OEMs from Porsche/bmw. If you don't track a lot just get the CS. IF you track more than you casually drive then get the PP.

Or simply just go sit in them and see which you prefer. The CS is more supportive than the stock seats and is the perfect upgrade for people who aren't track rats.

I run buckets in my weekend car and one thing to consider is having proper posture all the time. They are fixed back aka you are sitting pretty erect at all times and not relaxing slumped back

Thanks. I'm no track rat but certainly will be tracking the car 3-5 times a year hopefully. He ge times I've done track I found myself sliding all over the place on the oem seats. Is cs sitting position my Lower too or nah?

pole position is not good on the street or for a daily driven car. sportster cs/gt is a much better everyday seat.

i track as well, and again there is really no point to get CS if you are looking for more lateral support on the track, you will still slide around, i had pole position for this reason, and no, pole position is quite comfortable for DD

The Sportsters do not require a side mount as these are already built into the seat (steel mounts are heavy), which accounts for most of the difference.
