Damn guys...my back is freaking killing me! I am absolutely starting to hate the stock seats. My lower back has been in pain constantly lately and the stock seats are NOT helping.

So, I'm looking for a new set of seats. I'm not an auto-x'er or anything but I am a spirited street driver ahha. I need seats that are:

1) Reclinable
2) Relatively Affordable
3) Leather, Vinyl, or suede or a combo of two of those
4) Black/Blue colorway

That's pretty much it.

My current matches include: Recaro Sport Trendline, Recaro Speed, Cobra Misano (in my dreams if I can find them used).

Thanks..Also I'll need two of them (of course) so please keep that in mind. Any reviews or hints will be great. I want to use factory seatbelts also.

I bought two of these shortly after getting the car and they make a world of difference. Not too difficult to "install", and priced just right.

Thanks for the idea..this might be a better cheaper alternative...hrmm

Of course passengers will look at me funny and probably make fun of my age (being so young) and complainging of back pain =(

just tell them it's the result of having too much sex.

 

I know EXACTLY where you're coming from. I am 24 and have horrible back spasms. My lower back is always killing me. Those inflatable lumbar supports are a great idea!

 

::Shrugs:: The truth hurts LOL!

 

Actually, nobody will notice them because you install them under the seat covers. The hose and pump you can hide under the seat itself.

 

I put in the same inflatable lumbar support from that aircraft supply company two years ago, after having read about it on this forum. The install is a cinch, and the difference is huge. It's still working great.

I also recently fabricated a 1" spacer to elevate the front seat bracet feet off the floor (had to get longer high strength bolts). The net result is now I have great thigh support with the higher seat front edge (I'm 6'-3"+), and a more reclined position, which puts the inflatable lumbar a bit lower on the back. The raised front, combined with the cushion adjustment ****, give you a much broader range to achieve a leg comfort level.

I've also always thought the accelerator pedal was too close compared to the left foot dead pedal, resulting in right leg cramps after driving awhile. With the raised front seat edge, that's also been solved.

These two mods have transformed that stock lump of a seat into a true pleasure. Cheap and easy.
