So the CG lock arrived yesterday - seems a good bit of kit. Holds you in the seat well so you can concentrate on cornering. A bit too early to tell if it will improve my back ache problem but time will tell.

Hi there, did the cg lock help your backache?
I've been suffering from power back pain too and my chiropractor had advised me to recline the seat and use a Mackenzie roll to support the back. Lower pain almost gone after a few weeks.

You have to sit really straight up and high for the best support. I stole one of those airplane cusion and put it on the lower back where i find the least support and now i get a really comfy seat.
You also get the werid question of passager sayibg why u have a ba cusion from the plane lol

What did cure it for me is a cushion I put behind my back. I tried that and the pain went away after a few days. I can now go on long journeys and have no pain whatsoever whereas before I was getting pain after 10 mins of driving. |

The biggest problem most people have is that they tilt the seat base so the knees are higher than the hips - this forces the body into an unnatural position.
Start with the seat base as close to level as you can get it, and adjust everything else around it:
