On another note, what a car the 1LE is on track! But, that’s a whole ‘nother thread!
Me too. I don't like the way the headrest pushes my head forward when I'm wearing a helmet, and I didn't want to tilt the seat back further because the side bolsters on the Recaros are then not as effective. So....

Thanks to the this forum, I learned that you can turn the headrest around backwards (once you learn how to release it); the new angle works much better with a helmet on, but if you leave it that way for street driving (too much of a pain to swap it continually due to have difficult it is to release the catch pins), you need to add a pad to the readrest in order to have proper protection against whiplash.
