track day seating question
On the porsches have they have this thing that raises the seat so you are slanted back a bit so its easier to wear a helmet and be in a good driving position. Is there anything like that for the amgs?
I though I'd posted the question here since most of the guys here might track their car more often than the guys in the e63 section. Have the amg sports seats so I amsure if there might be something like this it would be universal fitment as long as the seats are the same.

The Carbon Bucket seats found in Porsche’s GT cars have for many owners, too steep of a backrest angle to drive comfortably when wearing a helmet whilst on track. Hence there are adapters that when installed adjust the rake of the backrest; reclining it a couple of degrees.
There is nothing like that made for the bucket seats in our cars iirc, but then again you can electrically adjust the backrest angle. It’s not always perfect as sometimes the degree of recline is limited by how far back the seat bottom is in relation to the backstop.
