Kirkey Racing Seats

I also have the 41 series Kirkey Seats. While its a very nice seat, I found that there was too much padding underneath my knees/back of thighs. With my feet on the pedals it was actually pushing into the back of my knees and was not a natural nor comfortable feeling while sitting in the car. I unbuttoned the cloth seat cover, which has the foam glued to it, and you can see the foam is darn near 4" thick in that area.... I trimmed about 1.5" of foam off of it, and it is a great fit for me now.

Anyway, your fit may be different, so you may not have this issue.. I am short at 5'7", so I think that is a factor, as longer legs would put a 'bend' in your knee and probably be ok as is with the seat as it comes from Kirkey
