Seat is very sturdy and fits a compact rig well.
The vinyl pad on the back made me sweat, and I found that the bare fabric was as comfortable! I still have the seat pad in, which is fine. Removing the headrest pad was necessary for VR.
Long term performance hasn't been determined, but it's pretty easy to forget about the seat while driving, which is a good thing.

We used the TRX seat and the Haptic Bass Shaker Kit for an immersive video installation during F1 Weekend in Miami. Obviously not what they were designed for exactly, but they were fantastic.

Seat is awesome but it would need some grommets to protect it from the seat rack as it gets super scratched around the bolts, also bolts are too short and its hard to install. I'm so afraid that tightening it will strip the inserts.

Seat is surprisingly comfortable and is great for a larger build. I’m 6’4” over 300# and I fit great. I’d a little on the high side for pricing imo but well worth it in the end.
