    Hi everyone ,
    Hopefully you can help,
    I have a 812sf with standard seats , being tall I find them very uncomfortable , can’t get them low enough .
    I wanted to swap them for racing seats as I believe they go much lower ,
    i ve seen a set of 2019 -488 goldrake racing seats available for sale - question is are they compatible with the 812 ?!
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    best
    James

    Regardless of seats you choose you are going to need to reprogram the Proxi as manual/sport seats will be missing modules that the network is looking for. Using seats from another model will also likely result in airbag issues.
    Your best bet is to have a good upholstery shop shave some foam from the seat cushion to get you some additional clearance.
