SLR seats?
Do the seats on the SLR adjust? I've read about these sized seats, so it makes me wonder if they're adjustable at all or just bolted into the car. It seems like they should at least adjust fore/aft. Any info?

I would not say that they are fully adjustable. They can be moved back & forth, up & down and the whole seat will tilt forwards & back. You cannot tilt the seat back forwards or backwards without moving the seat bottom. This is due the the seat being all one piece (CF bucket). And there is no option for lumbar support of any kind. In fact, the actual bucket is the same whether you get the extra small seat or the extra large one. All they do is adjust the thickness of the side bolstering to accommodate the small to large.
