I’m considering the Turner monoball for the front thrust arms to help with this as well. Can anyone speak to any meaningful benefit from those specific to this issue?
The monoballs should help the braking somewhat as the car changes from toe in to toe out to toe in etc due to the flex in the suspension rubber. The rear tension arms would also help.

At the end of the day the SWB is the enemy at high speed. I rly want to try my mates M4 to see the difference (we have similar mods) that the LWB makes.

Not full on race seat level for the track but I think will still perform well for the intended use.

I had the sportster CS seats in my FoRS, they were very comfy but not for bigger people. The hold was better than the M seats on the thighs but about the same on the shoulders/ribcage. Bare in mind im a smaller guy. Also 4 point only and I wouldn't even do that since they are not 1 piece buckets.

The Nogaros can pull a neat trick im just too short for... You can ask for a 2nd custom seat base that is much thinner than the "stock" one. With this you can sink about an 1 -1 1/2 inch into the seat for trackdays giving you more lateral leg support. In my case doing this drops my shoulders below the harness holes which is a no go.
