Default back pains?

Is it just me or does anyone else have a problem with the seats not having enough back support? They have great lateral support, but after about an hour of driving my back starts to kill me! Do you guys know if any companies like Bride make supports for stock seats? thanks

my racing bucket is far more supportive than the oem seats. my whole back is in contact with the seat.

Yea, I have that problem too! It seems to be a problem for taller guys. I've found that a small pillow helps a lot, but on a long trip, that's just one more thing to have to take. I wish there was a permanent fix!

I dont care for the support in the seats, but my complaint is they are leather. anyways, as a back-pain tip - don't put your wallet in your back pocket. it causes you to readjust the way you sit down in a chair and your hips adjust and tweak your back.

What kind of seats do you have?

i have the mugen s1 seat. it totally craddles my whole back. i can feel every point of my back against the seat. however, people of larger status will find it too small. i'm 5'7" 155 lbs, and it fits me like a glove. it might fit someone 5'10" 180 lbs, but not much more.

I must be an individual thing relating to size and build. I have two herniated discs (L3,4) and this is the only car I've had in 15 years that does not bother my back.

I am tall and I find these seats to be incredibly comfortable.
