I agree with Simon.... it will NOT instantly improve your kart.... unless you have it 'wrong' at the moment..... which MANY karts do!

It's all down to your body shape..... put crudely, the less you are like the classis 'kart god' (i.e., short, skinny, RUNT of the litter), the MORE it's likely you need to measure your existing weight distribution to make cure you are at the 'ideal' position.

Simon's not quite right about the 10cms figure. That depends on your 'weight'. The fatter and taller you are, the less far you need to move the seat to change the handling dramatically. Obviously, to get the same effect, if you weight 2 stone, you'd need to move the seat more than a driver who's 20 stone.
