The seats from 03-06 are "narrow" IMO. Its more like the seat makes a continuous dip from the edges to the middle. This pushes my shoulders forward and strains the back of my neck.

Does this affect ANYONE ELSE?

and has anyone remedied this at all with a pillow, seat cushion, back support etc.?

 

For $20 you can go to Walmart and get a seat cushion that fits really nice.

Heated, Lumbar, Vibrate ... amazing how cheap these things are getting.

I picked up one.... Maybe I should have picked up two but with the power box and all it wouldn't have been as clean....

I generally only use on long trips but it might be the ticket for you.

If I get a chance in the next day or two...I'll take a pict and post it.

 

thats cool. Ill check out walmart today.

 

The problem with the cushions is that they push you farther away from the back of the seat and closer to the wheel. You'll also lose the lateral grip from the seats, but it sounds like they're a bit on the tight side. Other than swapping seats, it's going to be a tradeoff.

My only gripe is that the headrests are too far back, but that's opening up a whole can of worms from a bunch of other threads..........

 

Tru dat .. However, these are not too bad. Still pretty good side support. They kinda sink in there. It's almost like they were custom made. I was like

I'll post up some pictures if I get a chance. Still working on con calls etc...
Stuck to the computer.

BTW - I'm 5'11 / ~ 200 LBS and still have a notch on the seat to go back after installing these. I do have to recline the seat an extra notch to get the same distance from the wheel. Straight arm driver with better than adverage reach.

 

The seats are not designed for big butts.

 

 

Yes, there are some wide versions of seats that we can install. Just not sure exactly if they will fix or not. This is one of my favorites and I have considered going with the skinny version:

 

I'm 165lbs. 6foot. (drum alot)

 

whats the make/model?

 

CorbeauTargaTRS

 

Damn, corbeau makes awesome seats (just looked at the website)

That means I need money.

 

Yep, my thoughts too... I want LSD / Sways / Springs / Plenum first ...

 

wow, you must be super skinny at that height and weight. To bad Roc-N-Soc don't make a Z- Seat

It seems the leather seats "wings" have more give than the cloth ones as I noticed the same thing when sitting in an 06.

hey, i'm a drummer too...17 years now, how long you been drumming? oh and just to be on topic, i just received my sparco torino's in the mail today, i'll be installing them tomorrow and will leave feedback asap...

 

PICS pleeeeeaase!

i started drumming in jr high (with an electronic set. yes, it was the eighties). Its been.... hmmm. 17 years! wow. doesnt that seem like kind of a long time?!

 

Your skinner than me. I can relate. In the Corbeau you don't sit so far into them so maybe a std width seat might work for you.

Speed Shops sometimes have them on the floor.

 

I've never had problem with the seat but I'm 5'3" 114lbs if that makes any difference.

 

i dont have that problem, but my 06 has 7000 miles on it and there is a **** load of wear on the outer edge of the seat. Anybody else have that problem? Its really starting to look bad

 

just rip out the stockers and tape a stool down. won't have to worry about your shoulders
