CSL Seats back Support

[Barry C]

hey,

i know I sound like an old fart (i'm only 25!) but i need to get a back support to put in the CSL.

did any one get one they'd recommend? I sit at a desk all day and my back is bad enough as it is:hahaha:

also did any of you get a nice cover for the seats? I don't want any fake tan on the seats:hahaha: I was looking at the recaro pole position ones from capital seating? I reckon they will fit ok?

[outnumbered]

Have you already tried taking the velcro'd panel off the seat and adjusting the cushions underneath ? I needed to do that with my car when I got it and it's been fine since.

Other than that, I think a few people have successfully used a Sparco inflatable lumbar support.

I have a tiergarten towel for the passengers seat, after my mates back was in two driving out there, its still in. I have a sparco one but non blow up type, I wouldnt bother again, the towels as good :hahaha:

I must say I have given this some thought as well. On longer journeys i feel a lot more tired than I would driving my normal daily hack and I put that down to the seats in the CSL.
Are Recaro's any better?

I had them in my last car and they're worse

My Recaro is more comfy than my CSL seat for some reason.

See thats the thing, I guess everyone is different. All I know is whilst I love the CSL I do question a seat change on occasion and when on long journeys I am only to glad to get out of it :banghead:

Because you have a large frame like myself, and the csl seat doesnt really give much upper back support.

[azrael]

Recaro make a lumbar support for these seats, probably hard to get hold of now

Nothing wrong with a large frame, :whistle:

Got to say though having done a mile or two in the CSL i dont find it that bad, yes it could be better but at the end of the day it's not really a car thats built for out and out comfort.

Have thought of a seat change myself but more for the reason of a bit more side support and the use of a harness. I seem to jiggle a bit in the std seat :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry:
