I havent slated it, ive just questioned its value as an add on. surely if it was that good it'd be standard on some make or other?
I shouldn't knock until I've tried, but I'd prefer to be held firmly by the shoulders (a la full harness) than tightly by the waist.
Tris, I just had a thought, try some of that non-slip matting they sell to line tool boxes on your leather seat when you're racing. I've just experimented and it works!
I bought one of these at the Autosport show in Jan, to use in the LCR, and to try on track in the 205, as I've not bought harnesses for it yet.
Have only had road use in the Leon so far, and I have to say that it's pretty good - it holds you in place when you want to (for a blast down the lanes), but is unobtrusive when you want to move around (on the motorway etc.)
For the price it's a nice, unobtrusive little addition to the car.

looking into getting one of these. where's the best (cheapest 
) place to get one.
my mate has one in his new scooby rb320
and swears by it. needless to say i was thrown around all over the place on the twisties, whilst he never moved. seems good enough to me.

CGLock wanted to start a Group Buy on these, so if there is enough interest I'll get in touch with them and give them m0rk's contact details so they can sort something out.
DamoR and myself were sent a CGLock each to review for this forum some time back. Not sure about DamoR but they have my review, which I assume they will use on their website at some point?
As I said, if there is enough interest I'll get in touch with them.
Oh, and for the doubters....
Before I got one I wasn't convinced of the merit of something like this for a road car, but I wouldn't be without it now. It's brilliant and does a seriously good job. I told CGLock that I'd write them a review that explained exactly what I thought - good or bad - as I wasn't convinced of the point. But it really is good, from a 'keep you in your seat' point of view, but also a posture point of view. I used to slouch a lot when driving long distance but now I start and end my journey in exactly the same position.
Very impressed

i'd be interested at that price. think my mate can get me one through the scooby owener's club for similar, so i may not need one.
I would like to see the review first,
I really can't see how this would benifit, even on a track,
a decent seat will give you more support than a rachet can,
being held in be the waste surely cant be that supportive,
as said prev, shoulders are where you need the most support,
your lower half isnt normally what moves.
Just looks a bit consticting!
Anyway, roll on review!

I said the same as both you guys before I tried one. But it does make a difference, without any shadow of a doubt.
Your lower half moves around a lot more than you might think. You slump in your seat - can you honestly say you end a long journey in exactly the same position as you started? And when cornering your hips raise off the seat a little, which can cause your body to twist. And if your body twists, it means your legs aren't pointing in the same direction, and your upper body is also being twisted a little too. None of that is particularly good for spirited driving.
The CGLock holds your waist in place, which stops you from lifting in corners, stops you from slumping forward, stops your body from twisting and stops your legs changing direction
It can't compete with a full race harness, that's for sure. But how practical are harnesses for every day driving? And how much do they cost? It's the next best thing, IMO.
I rubbished the idea before I got it and will now stick up for it, because I think it's a damn good product with more practical use than half the bolt-on tat that people spend 5 times this amount on. And as most people on this forum know, if I think something is rubbish, I'll be the first to say it
