Interior questions - Legnum VR-4 series II seats comfortable?

[Hipsi]

I'm finding that lack of lumbar support in the S1 seats increasingly frustrating. My wife particularly suffers, she cannot drive for any long period without ending up with back pain. I'm going to have to find a solution, more than likely a set of Evo VI recaros. I presume the evo recaros have either decent, or even better, adjustable lumbar support?

my recaro's out of an evo 6.5 don't have lumbar adjust, but the stock VR-4 ones do

 

[Hipsi]

hmm, I would've preferred a nice set of blue evo IV ones, plus they're easier to get

i have recaros in facelift and i reckon it needs more lumbar support for lower back. it hurt my back heaps at first but have had the car now 3 weeks and no pain at all, you just get used to it after a while ???? Maybe its all the lower back work ive done at the gym lately...lol....maybe???

Yeah the evo 5 seats have no adjustable lumbar support, but it does have a permanent lumbar support. You just have to make sure you sit your butt right back in the seat to get the most out of it. Then the seat grips you heaps better too. No slouching lol

MyRecaros do not have adjustable lumbar support. The adjustmant it does have is the side supports. It can be widened for the larger person, or narrowed in for skinny people.

But definately no lumbar support.

my s2 facelift with suede interior has no lumbar supports, and it drives me nuts!

we obviously need a solution to this. I wonder if Magna seats will fit?

The black leather seats are no better - no adjustable lumbar support...
I occasionaly get a sore lower back, but at 6'4" it's not uncommon for seats not to be supportive to me. However my wife who is 5'6" has no problems - she says they are nice and supportive

Buh-Bow...they don't. I've tried

She doesn't hit roundabouts at 90 though

I'm 6' and i find the seats to be fine for me, i just slide out of them when "spirited driving" becomes an understatement!

3rd gen Verada leather seats would be the way to go if you want lumbar support and comfort. Not sure if they would fit though

 

[VR-04-TT]

They won't work either (sorry for the negativity lol!). They're a bolt-in into 2nd gen magnas and I tried a 2nd gen magna seat in the VR4.

lancer seats perhaps? seeing as cc/ce clear side indicators fit...the seats might too

 

[Hipsi]

Actually, my sister in law has a special edition CE lancer and the seats are awesome, they're like a combo black leather/suede and would be really nice in the leggy. Wonder if she'll let me try them out one day

 

[VR-04-TT]

CE Lancer is a good idea, if I come across one at a wrecker, I'll do some measuerments

Bolt in Bride rails are available for our cars. Might be the best option around by the sounds of it.

 

[Hipsi]

so are recaro rails. from about $80 each plus freight from the land of the rising sun

 

[Hotwire]

^ I was thinking that. Would be interested to know if the Just Jap Recaro copies bolt in to genuine recaro rails, then I can continue the black leather theme with these babies:

 

[Hipsi]

perhaps you should ask them Lee
