extra padding for driver's seat

[ghlkal]

While I really like the looks of the 90 sport seats, mine wasn't comfortable on long drives. I was considering swapping them for later seats (95).

I took the seat out to work under the dash. While it was out, I thought I would experiment with adding some additional padding to the seat bottom. My wife had a piece of "memory foam" hanging around. It was actually designed as a "pillow" with a half cylinder shape.

I decided to just place it under the seat bottom cushion after reinstalling the seat.

While I'm sure new seat foam is a better solution, I was pleased with the result. We took the Z on a little trip of 300 miles and I was happy with how the seat (and my seat :-) felt.

The piece of memory foam I used was 15" by 8" and about 4" high at the top. While YMMV, I will be keeping the extra foam in.

Simple solutions are better than swapping seats. I did own a 95 coupe for a year and the later style sport seats are good, but I think the earlier seats look better. For me, they are both comfortable, just the ingress and egress is improved on the 94-96 units.

I will be trying this. I have two memory foam pillows that will volenteer.
I'm going to try and enhance the lombar padding also.
Great post !
