I sit upright enough that i got made fun of in highscho. And today i paid attention and i also brace my right leg against the center when cornering hard left even with throttle epressed.

I am 6'1" and no matter how I sit, my leg touches the knee pad. It takes a certain amount of effort to purposely not touch it. The JDM knee pads were an A+ upgrade for me.

Well, it was not worth it for me. My knees hit it right in the corner and the JPM's did not do much to alleviate since there isn't going to be much padding in the corner. It does help *some* but not at the cost for me.

The armrest, OTOH, is unbelievably good. Yes, even with minimal padding and at twice the money. I should have installed that first before deciding if I'll need the kneepads now that I'm more 'comfortable'.
