Alright, this may seem like a weird question, but do any of you guyts have special ways of getting into your FD's?
I get the biggest cramp on the left side of my hip bringing the left leg in that it's a serious bother. The pain will later last for days. And the sad part is I'm 16 so it's not like I'm falling apart hear. I dunno if its cuz the car is dropped on eibachs or what but there is some serious trouble here!

Please give any advice!

Sit butt in chair first....tap shoes together outside for any dirt....swing legs inside....grab top of door to close....begin chanting, "please dont blow, please dont blow, please dont blow."

But I've never had a cramp, but the leather is a pain in the ***. I worry about ripping it. I just want to get a single sparco seat for myself.

I'm not even going to describe how bad a 7 point makes it.

I'm 5'2" and I can just get in and out with the seat already in my driving position...so I cant help you there. Ive seen people move their seats all the way back to get in and out so maybe that would help.

Yup thats how I do it. Move the seat all the way back get in then move it forward. I'am 5'6" but I'am a big guy. 175lbs but not fat at all, just bulky. Same way getting out. Move it back then get out. It helps if you lean the seat a little further back.

Yep, butt-first, watch the door edge, then swing each leg under the wheel one at a time, especially if you have the stainless scuff plates. ALWAYS remove your wallet from your back pocket before you sit.
You strap on an FD like an F-16, remember?
