Seats - They are fairly good for stock seats but I do have to use my knees to brace myself in turns. If I were turning this into a dedicated track car I would definitely get racing seats though, but since it remains my daily driver I will probably keep the leather/power/heated seats for comfort .

Shifter - Love it. I am not going to swap it out. I personally don't like short shifters, at least none of the ones I have tried. Sure they are shorter throws, but they are a little notchy and because the stock shifter is smooth, I can actually shift faster with it than a short shifter. Short shifters also tend to increase my chances of mis-shifting, but maybe thats just a problem I have. These same issues I personally have with short shifters are on any car I have driven with a short shifter too (350Z, G35, Mini, Mustang, etc.). I just prefer stock shifters.

Pedals - I have the sport model and I have no problems with the pedals. I have never had a foot slip off and the orientation of them is easy for me to heel-toe, although I usually use SRM on the track.

Steering Wheel - The only thing I would change about the steering wheel in a perfect world would be to have it stick out farther. Like most stock vehicles, when I position myself where I want in relation to the steering wheel, my legs are too close to the pedals. I would like to extend my legs a little more and have the steering wheel closer to me. Other than that, I have no complaints. Again if this weren't my daily driver I would probably switch to a short hub/quick release/deep dish wheel combo, but since its a street car the stock wheel and airbag will stay for safety....and my radio/bluetooth controls .
