"Driving from Serre Chevalier to Torino over the Haute Alpes is probably a lovely scenic drive. But doing it in a rush, in lousy weather, in a Renault Espace is a bit different, you literally slide off of the seats. I was catching a flight to get to a race so I had my kit bag with me and thought to try my CG-Lock… it was a remarkable difference and probably meant that I did not miss my flight…"

"I used the CG-lock at the Goodwood circuit during an Alfa Romeo track day. I went with my brother Guy (shown in a photo stood next to the car) and had a fantastic time as we combined the Goodwood festival of speed with time on the race circuit. The weather was great too (apart from when we took a few pictures!).

I didn’t notice the CG-lock when I was driving which is as it should be. Normally in high speed cornering you find yourself bracing a leg against the door or centre console but this didn’t happen. It’s a very fast circuit so the G forces gave the system a good test."

"After many years of running track cars, I found the CG Lock! Its great if you dont have a harness setup, it really does lock you into the seat and provides greater confidence. I have used it in many different cars, and it does make a real difference, especially on leather seats which tend to let you slide about in them. Being an engineer within the automotive world I know when a product such as the CG Lock proves its worth."

"I’ve received my CG Lock last week and am very happy with it. I installed it in my Citroen C1, and it really improves driving. As the car doesn’t really have bucket seats you tend to slide about a lot. With the CG Lock this effect is greatly reduced."

"I originally bought the CG lock around a year ago as I just couldn’t get a comfortable driving position in my car and felt like I was always slouching in the chair.

The first thing I noticed when I installed it was how much more secure I felt in my seat - It held me upright and alleviated the back ache I was getting on longer journeys (I’m 6′7″ so back pain is a recurring problem for me). However, I also noticed that my slippery leather seats were not so slippery anymore, on a spirited drive, my body would normally get thrown around the seats a fair bit but with the CG lock I felt like I had a proper harness on - I was held firmly in place and it is so much easier to control the car when you don’t have to focus on trying to resume your position - it means I can focus on the steering and changing gear without having to readjust the rest of me. More than anything, it makes me a safer driver as I feel so much more in control.

There aren’t any downsides to it either - its easy to fit and remove, not intrusive and it doesn’t make putting your belt on any harder. You can’t lose.

Lastly, I would like to say that the customer service is excellent! When I lost the slide bar due to my own mistake, CG Lock replaced my whole unit with no hassle whatsoever. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the CG Lock to everyone - in fact I have done on a number of BMW forums that I visit regularly. Its just a great product."

"First proper drive in my car today since fitting the CG-Locks ā€“ I now appreciate the bucket seats in my car more than I did when I got it.

The buckets stopped the lateral movement, the CG-Lock stops the longitudinal movement ā€“ major improvement (though I think dry roads will show it provides an even bigger gain)."

"Have used a CG-Lock on my Integra Type-R for over three years. Despite this car having semi bucket seats the CG-Lock has improved considerably the seat support. Support is not just lateral, but prevents my body sliding forward, increasing comfort. Back support is that improved, I would be comfortable driving almost any distance. Driving a car without a CG-Lock now feels as alien as not wearing a seat belt. Either improving support for sports driving, or improved driving posture everyone should try the CG-Lock."

Jason Massey

"What a fantastic kit the cg-lock is! It’s easy to fit but best of all it really does do what it says on the box! You feel an increase in comfort and security and you have better control of your car. If I ever change my car a CG-Lock will be the very first buy for it. Just bought a second one for my brothers birthday to fit in his RenaultSport Clio 200. Lucky boy!"

"I originally purchased the CG-Lock with a view to doing trackdays in my Subaru STI. On the track it provides improved stability in the drivers seat allowing for more control when driving on the limit as there is greatly decreased lateral body movement.

"Spa was my first track day with the cg-lock which arrived a few days before we drove to Belgium. It was very easy to install and on the drive to the circuit it was immediately apparent that my seatbelt was now locking my waist into the bucket seats in my elise.

My only regret is that I didn’t know about the lock a couple of years ago!!"

"I have been using the CG-Lock for some time now and have been very happy with the performance. I am fairly slight in build so even though the car has bucket seats I do tend to slide around in tight corners. The CG-Lock stops this very well indeed. For me a full harness would be a problem for everyday use and I would not be able to reach the dashboard controls like the heater, radio and lights. The other issue they create is not being able to turn around to see behind. The CG-Lock addresses these issues very well indeed."

David Hirons

"I never heard of the CG-Lock until recently, and as a former High Performance Driving Instructor, immediately realized what a help it would have been at the track for both the people I was instructing as well as for me.

"I bought CG Locks for the drivers seatsā€™ of my two cars - a Fiat Coupe 20Valve Turbo and a Mazda MX5 - both have leather seats which, while attractive to look at, do allow you to slip about when cornering. In both cases, they have worked exceptionally well in keeping me firmly placed yet able to lean forward when necessary. I did wonder if my wife (who does not corner quite as enthusiastically as me) would find them annoying when driving but she hasnā€™t had any issue with them at all which is a bonus!"

"I decided to get the CG Lock for the AROC Sprint Series event and fitted it in about 5 minutes. On the day when I went for my first Sprint run I positioned myself firmly into the base of the seat and adjusted the CG Lock to tighten the lap part of the seat belt, the upper body part of the seat belt works as normal. The effect is as you would expect, no more side ways slipping and equally important no lifting of the hips on tight sprint circuit corners, which avoids hanging off the steering wheel, just to hold yourself in place, resulting in a better driving style. The results speak for themselves….I managed to get the fastest lap of the day for the Alfa cars and I am sure the CG-Lock helped. I can highly recommended this product for your next Sprint or Track Day."

"I bought 2 pieces for my car, one for the driver and one for the codriver. I own a Peugeot 307 which is used for daily commute as well as spirited driving for trackdays. For the past couple of months I had been searching for a solution regarding the lack of firm side bolstering of the OEM seats. Of course the perfect solution would be to throw out these seats completely and replace them with a pair of proper buckets, but that has some problems too. Anyway, I decided to try cg-lock, as the price was quite low for what was promised and also there was a money-back guarantee, so almost nothing for me to loose.

Overall, I am completely satisfied in each and every aspect and would recommend it to anyone, especially petrolheads."

It definitely holds you better in your seat and gives you the ability to concentrate more on other driving aspects."

"After purchasing my CG-lock at the AutoSport show 3 years ago, I have really enjoyed the benefit the system brings to my driving experience. Although I donā€™t do trackdays, I enjoy a spirited road drive, often using a combination of A and B roads to Goodwood. These roads are winding, bumpy and undulating, where you really notice the benefits. It helps with the feedback the vehicle can bring to the driver making you really connect with what the car is doing.

The final thing I would like to add is to do with complimenting its versatile design where, once first fitted, which is a doddle anyway with a couple of screws and the hex key to go with it, the system is not enforced on you to use. You can simply slide off the clamping bar, by hand, with no tools required, and you have your regular seat belt system again. This is especially handy for the short trips to the shop where I donā€™t particularly want to use it or remove it. "

"I bought two of these, primarily for my Nissan Skyline. However, when I read the leaflet I realised that they might well help my usual problem - backache. I drive a lot for work, so first off I fitted one of them to my day to day car.

"I have never been a fan of competition 4-point harnesses in road cars, as they are simply too inconvenient to be practical as an everyday method of securing yourself in the car. I’ve got bored too many times waiting for friends in Caterhams and other such harness-equiped cars, to get their stuff together so that we can simply drive away from where we’d been! So when I read about the CG-Lock I simply had to try it.

The results are truely remarkable! When pulled tight, I am completely secure in the drivers seat, yet without having any time consuming faffing about with complex harnesses - plus I can still lean forward to reach parts of the dash that other belts simply don’t allow. With my hips and lower body secure, I am in far better control of the vehicle than if I was just using the normal seatbelt. I have one in each of my cars. My Renaultsport Spider has deep bucket seats and the simple addition of the CG-Lock secures me so totally, that there is absolutely no reason for me to buy and fit expensive harnesses - even when on trackdays or at the Nurburgring. And the fact that it can be transferred from one car to another in 2 minutes made my purchase of a CG-Lock a no-brainer for me! Top stuff chaps."

A lot of time in not the world’s most comfortable cabin. Installing CG-Locks massively reduced lower back pain from long hours in the bucket seats - highly recommended for sports cars, for both driver and passenger. Our aftersales contacts with CG-Lock have also been met with genuinely excellent customer service."

"I don’t even know how i found out about CG-lock but ive been using (and promoting) your product for about 7 years now… So far, i’ve used it on three consecutive cars, and getting the CG-lock has become something to-do before even driving a new vehicle from the dealers.. insurance?.. check!.. CG-lock?.. check!

Cars with CG-lock so far: all have seen their fair share of fast road and track action:

• Current Evo IX
• Previous Opel Speedster 2.2 (seen here on my favourite track: Spa-Francorchamps)
• Previous VW Lupo GTi

I have also had previous problems with low back pain, so the lock helps to keep my bum where it should be as an added bonus!

"I use my CG-lock for track and road use. Simple and effective. For such a simple and cheap upgrade it confers massive benefits. As the driver you feel far more planted and at one with the car, which increases the pure thrill of driving a Lotus. It gives you the ability to spend more time concentrating on pedal work rather than on trying to stay put in the seat! It certainly added to the enjoyment factor while spending a week driving on the Isle of Man. Thanks."

This is a ā€˜must-buyā€™ for anyone that doesnā€™t want the inconvenience of a full harness but would like to feel ā€˜plantedā€™ in their car. It is that good, I bought another for my Lotus Carlton, singularly the best modification Iā€™ve ever bought!"

"It was used at the Ring last week in a Mk5 Golf R32 with bucket recaros for both driver and passenger, who both reported feeling very secure. The track was very wet for a good part of the long weekend and the CGLock meant that it was easier to feel the car responding to the changes in track surface without the otherwise inevitable bracing of hands knees and elbows against the wheel and interior fittings on the corners.

Keep up the good work!"

"I accidentally found out about the CG-Lock at a high performance driving event at a nearby racetrack. My driving skills were improving each day, but I felt helpless in negotiating some tight turns as my body would bounce around from one side of my seat to the other. All my energy was being wasted on holding the steering wheel tight enough to keep my hips in the seat, instead of concentrating on the driving. When one of the instructors offered the CG-Lock for me to try, everything changed. By keeping my hips ā€œgluedā€ to the seat I quickly felt the weight transfer of the car, and thus my driving skills improved greatly.

I am ordering more CG-Locks for both my cars and will bring them with us when we travel with our children."

"I recently lost the slide bar from my CG lock - my own fault! I contacted you to ask if you made replacement bars, expecting the answer would be “no”. The answer was “no”, but amazingly you offered to replace the whole unit free of charge. I expected nothing but got it all. That’s customer service.

I shall be buying two others now for my passenger and child seat in the back."

"I wanted to add a testimonial after recently experiencing just how awesome this product is. I have spent more than I care to remember on trying to extract more performance from my much loved Corrado VR6, the endless pursuit of pace that a lot of us are familiar with, but nothing has beaten my recent purchase of a CG lock for sheer “bang for buck”. It has kept me comfortable for a recent 1000 mile road trip to Germany, and also kept me pushing hard but feeling safe around the ‘Ring when I got there. Then 2 weeks later for a bit more peace of mind it kept me in my seat at Santa Pod.

Thanks for the great product, can’t wait to see what else the CG lock team might have in mind."

"Having used a CG Lock for some months in my own road car, I have known of its abilities to hold you comfortably in place whilst cornering etc. on twisty country roads within national speed limits. As it says in the information & advertising, it is “Occupant Stability Equipment” when used correctly, in conjunction with the primary restraint system….ie the seat belt.

I would thoroughly recommend it"

"As Iā€™m already a long term user of CG-Locks in my modified Subaru Impreza WRX Sportwagon I decided to treat my new pride and joy, a Jaguar S-Type to the same. Having slippery leather seats I found it often difficult, especially during those first test drives, to stop myself from sliding around the seat when cornering and under braking. Every test drive Iā€™d find myself slipping down the seat requiring readjustment of my driving position frequently during a run until I borrowed both of the CG-locks from my Subaru and installed them very quickly and easily for my last test drive. Bingo!!

ā€˜Highly Recommendedā€™. Cheers CG-Lock!!"

"I use my VX220 Turbo (Modified to 303BHP) on track and road. I donā€™t want to install harness so I have decided to use a CG lock which offers the best of both worlds i.e. I get the security of a harness but when I am on the road I can lean forward therefore pulling out of angled junctions is a lot easier. Also I have just installed some carbon fibre seats and the CG lock will hold me securely in place around the waist so I wonā€™t slide forward."

"I have CG locks fitted to my Lotus Elise which is used for both normal driving and track days. The Lotus has leather bucket seats which tend to allow you to slip down into them when driving. Full harness belts are fitted for track days but are not suitable for day to day use as they limit your maneuverability and restrict you from leaning forward e.g. to see at junctions. With the normal lap/diagonal belts I find myself slumping down in the seat.

The CG Locks are really good - they keep you seated correctly but allow upper body movement making for safer driving - especially if some spirited driving is undertaken! In fact the CG Locks are so good, and easier to use, that I have used them in preference on some track days! Congratulations on a really good product."

"I think the CG-Lock is fantastic for general road use and really comes into its own for anyone who enjoys track days but doesnā€™t want the expense or inconvenience of fitting a full harness. I fitted it before I went to the ring in April and the difference was huge, enough to get the lap time down to 9 minutes."

Matt Phillips, BMW Z3 M Coupe driver, December 2008

"The CG-Lock took a little getting used to but after a couple of days I had it mastered and have to say that the product is fantastic. I can now drive with peace of mind that I am doing the best I can in terms of my back and also in terms of safety. That’s not to mention the improved feel it gives you when driving on challenging roads. It makes the connection between driver and car feel more solid and stops you from gripping the steering wheel to hold on, instead I can now use the steering wheel as intended and steer my car without any movement across the seat.

I would recommend this product to anyone who has concerns about safety, back problems or just wants to feel more at one with their vehicle. So that covers just about everyone who owns a car."

"Just a short note to say how very pleased I am with my CG-Lock, I used to have Recaro seats in my Seat Leon Cupra R and when I changed to a newer one I lost them and also lost the support they give when….. ahem “goin for it”.

What more could you ask for and it has lasted longer than the go faster bits!!! Thank you."

“I am an extremely amateur DIYer but I managed to install it in just a few minutes. In order to test it I proceeded to a pair of nearby roundabouts which feature a straight in between them which is just long enough to accelerate to a scary speed. I carried out my very scientific experiment by driving around them quickly, first without the CG lock tightened, and then a few more times with it tightened. The difference was noticeable immediately. I was remaining secure in my seat and able to keep the car on whichever line I chose. I have driven on some challenging and unfamiliar country roads since then and always ā€˜tightened upā€™ just before the driving becomes interesting. It feels as though I have spent hundreds of pounds on my cars suspension and tyres, turn-in feels quicker and I have more confidence to ā€˜press-onā€™. Brilliant.”

“Sometimes you look at something and wonder how it can work, a bag full of bits that can be so effectual, don’t be mislead. Easily installed in minutes, the lock is one of those things you wonder how you have done without for so long. We installed two CG locks for the Passenger Laps at Castle Combe, and every one of the passengers was securely held in place for their time in the car. No movement even when they were not able to reach the footwell / bulkhead.

As a driver, its the closest thing to a full harness without the restrictions. Lap after lap I did not move and felt more attached to the car than ever.

Further two days at Spa had me more convinced than ever that these trick little locks are a must for road and especially track.

Many thanks to CG Lock, it is something I ensure is always fitted to whatever I am driving….”

“After purchasing a CG Lock and fitting it to my Vauxhall Vectra Sri, I was sceptical that such an easy device to fit could actually help me find some relief from the Lower Back Pain I have endured for years. The fact that this little device both secures me into my seat and keeps me in the correct posture position has given me in less than two weeks a 50% improvement from the pain I suffered after driving. It has also taught me to sit in a correct position when out of the car. If you have not yet purchased a CG Lock I certainly recommend you do.”

“CG Lock, a funny bit of metal or the difference between a quick driver and a competitive one? I read the blurb on the CG Lock and I nodded along agreeing in principle with what it was saying, but still somewhat skeptical. I placed the order though the web site which messed up due to my card issuer refusing to release my funds… I did have the the cash honest. So the next day I was able to call a nice chap at CG who took my details manually like the old days and my lock was dispatched.

A day or so later it arrived, I was prepping my car for a trip to the Nordschleife in Germany so with the many new parts I was treating my car to the CG Lock was fitted. I think it took all of 10 minutes being as careful as possible, in hindsight It could have been done in 4 minutes. At that point a quick test did in fact reveal this thing could lock you in to your seat as hard as you can pull on the belt!

The trip over to Germany, about six hundred miles or so was no different seatbelt-wise than usual, as you can set the CG Lock to a comfortable grip and continue on as normal.

Once in the car park of the track as the nerves of your immanent lap creep in, it is in fact of great comfort to give a firm tug on your seat belt which pulls your hips and butt firmly back into the seat. I will have to skip the part about what is was like on the first lap as I had bigger things on my mind. Suffice it to say, it did a fantastic job holding me firm in an invisible way! On the next 19 laps I came to realise I was able to corner under the kind of loads that only the 6 point harness guys could do. My passenger sans CG Lock will testify to this with palms showing the fine detail of my seats imprinted in them.

At the end of my trip I came to the idea that there must be a Lap Time that can’t be crossed without proper 5/6 point harness, things get dangerous at around the 10 minute mark. By this I mean under heavy corner loads it can’t be safe to be using your own strength to hold your body in the seat and at the same time doing 120mph over a left hand crest. So if you want to stand any chance of cracking 9 mins you really do need proper harnesses or do you!?”

“I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the effects of the CG-Lock which I bought from your company recently.

Iā€™ve been suffering from chronic lower back pain for many years and recently decided to try & address the problem once & for all. Having previously tried the traditional medical route to no avail, in the spirit of ā€˜self-helpā€™ I decided on a course of treatment from a chiropractor. He explained in some depth how poor posture could adversely affect the muscles & nerves in the lumbar region, resulting in increased pain & that I should make every effort to maintain ā€˜correctā€™ posture at all times. The CG-Lock was mentioned as a device that could help to promote this correct posture whilst driving.

My job entails a fair bit of driving and I was keen to try anything which would help to alleviate the awful pains I suffered after even a short drive. Also, as an advanced driver, who thoroughly enjoys the process (even in my little Yaris!), I was delighted to read that the CG-Lock could help me to enjoy my driving even more.

Well, after only a week I am pleased to report that I feel much better than I used to after being behind the wheel for any length of time. I donā€™t have that awful stiffness in my lower back when get out of the car, and I donā€™t feel the need to ā€˜shiftā€™ constantly in an effort to find a comfortable position. I also noticed that because the device made me ā€˜sit upā€™ more, I had to adjust the rear-view mirror - I was literally an inch taller in the car!

I must admit that initially I was less concerned with the increased safety afforded by the CG-Lock than I was with the ā€˜postureā€™ benefits. But after having read the reports on your web-site concerning motor accident data I am very glad that I now have this device fitted to my car. So glad in fact that I have bought another one for the passenger seat.

The fact that I feel safe & much more comfortable in my car is worth much more than the cost of this ingenious device. I would happily recommend the CG-Lock to any driver.”

“I bought my CG Lock recently and have enjoyed the extra control that it gives me. Its a great little device that makes driving a more enjoyable experience, and even with sports seats it adds value by keeping me secure in my seat, allowing me to focus more on driving and less on bracing myself. Without changing my seats and getting harnesses, this is the next best thing (& a lot more cost effective !). Thx for a great product.”

“Hello all, just to let you know how good your product really is. I have only had one fitted for a few days now and I can keep my posture in the seat better instead of slouching. I feel safer with it fitted as I am kept in the seat far better than just the seat belt alone, especially if I have to brake hard. Cornering is much more fun now, being kept in the seat not sliding. I’ll have to put my bucket seats back in and get on a track now.”

“I use my Lotus Elan +2 on the road, doing frequent Retro Runs/Classic Car events. The CG-Lock is on a par with the 3-point harness I used in my previous car, an original Lotus 7 Series 2. Now need a CG for the wife!”
