They have to be the most uncomfortable seats I ever sat in :lol Yep. You have to sit with your butt way back in the seat and the back closer to upright and it’s much better. My back would only hurt on long roadtrips when I started to slouch. Sitting up straight helps. ---

Oh I agree with you, its not a comfortable seat for most people. I dont like lumbar in my seat and its still not great. I’ve sat in those things for 100k miles and the only way you can survive is to sit absolutely bolt upright. :lol ---

It’s only $25 and it’s the source of half of the play in the linkage. That and carrier arm bushings (around the bitch clip) and you’ll be good. That might be the most satisfying mod on your list. 🙂 Sadly, only #2 and #3 below were replaced! Did help shift feel though! > [@Call out Choda](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/call-out-choda/30743/97): > > Archie, I don’t know how you like those Vader seats. They have to be the most uncomfortable seats I ever sat in :lol I always sit bolt upright, they have been comfortable for me. I don’t like the fact they are so heavy, but they are already the manual ones. Any OEM replacement would be heavy too. > [@pics of the whip](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pics-of-the-whip/7205/38): > > do brake lines and clutch line at the same time, bleed only once. you swapping your subframes over from the 325? Will be doing brake lines and clutch line at the same time, no problem bleeding at the same time, just use maH third lEG yO Diff itself was swapped out, not the entire subframe. M3 bushings did not need any help! Doing more work on this car on Thursday, will post pics. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/journey-in-a-breadbox-my-97-m3-4-5/252646.md?page=2)
