Default Back so sore from 2 hour drive today!

Arrrggh.... the recaros in my Supra are like a back massage to sit in, whereas my S2000's stock seats feel like I'm sitting on a torture rack.



Anyone else find the stock seats extremely uncomfortable? If so, what did you to to fix this? What seats did you upgrade to?



I'm 6'3 and about 240.

infatable lumbar support - i bought them from a member - they fit perfectly between the rear of the seats - some have also placed a towel in the spot-

The S2000 seats are designed poorly in my opinion. It puts you into a posterior pelvic tilt, which puts your lower back in flexion and puts stress on your discs. My civic feels so much better to me, but for some reason I always seem to drive the S anyway...
Using lumbar support of some kind is probably a good idea.

I guess I should be looking for a different seat if I wanna keep the car?



I feel sick after 2 hours behind the wheel. The recaros in my Supra are not stock, but they are the best, absolute BEST seat I've ever sat it. Absolutely incredible!
