Does anyone else suffer from bad back problems from there old car seats?  I've been using my modern Focus for a month because my back was so bad from the soft seats in my Escort... I don't really want to replace the seats as i've got nowhere to keep the originals/there in mint condition etc? are there any supports you can buy that a good? anyone else have this problem? i'm going to start using it again next week. ta, Chris |

if the problem is in the lumber part of your back at the bottom what i do is roll an old towel up and tape on the seat i then can drive 100 miles plus without a twinge !

Long journeys in the 2300S give me trouble although I have a long running back problem anyway, just getting in and out of the Monza is a trial.

They may look mint but it doesn't mean that the foam/webbing/supports haven't gone a bit saggy. New webbing/foam can make a huge difference. |

They may look mint but it doesn't mean that the foam/webbing/supports haven't gone a bit saggy. New webbing/foam can make a huge difference. Precisely what I was going to say. My XR3i on stock tired seats was OK on long trips but my RST is great ; While they are Recaros (which may be more uncomfortable in some people's eyes) they are also refoamed. Most classics I have been in with fully refoamed seats have been much better afterwards ; my Stag was like a revelation after the refoaming  . Sometimes this is where paying someone to do can be better and more cost effective ; I had a real pain of a time finding good foams for my Stag ; they were all stupidly hard. My retrimmer was all too familiar and made his own. To add insult to injury it would not have cost all that much more if I went to him in the first place... |
