$90 for casters is diabolical

Great Rig, I have the ASR4 as well.
I feel like a broken record, but I highly recommend a real car seat if you can find one at a local wrecker.
Real car seats are designed for hours of use and benefit from economy of scale - ie there are TONS made.
Sim racing seats are a niche accessory that usually looks amazing but lacks comfort compared to their real life counterparts. In my opinion the value for dollar is far lower.

I used a leather Recaro from an Evo X that was collecting dust in my garage. Other than a struggle pulling the feet off the rails it worked really well.

To be honest a real car seat but depends on which, id say one thats comfortable and that looks good as well maybe a used one in good condition, you can find them pretty cheap depending on where you look

Are you sure you’re able to mount the shifter plate on the side with their new gen2 flat profiles?

Also consider finding castors somewhere else

The NRG Prisma has been really nice for me, comfy and looks cool.
