Whats the remote for? Power seats, heated, cooled, and massaged? For $2500 i hope so.

 

these are so beautiful

 

Which seat are you speaking of? I have never sat in a comfortable bucket seat.

 

This is what I'll be installing in my car in a few days:



Carbon fiber Sparco S Light.

 

The stock seats are Recaros. Why would you want to buy aftermarket Recaros?

 

I, myself, have been searching for particular sports car seats which are similar to the new Z4 with adjustable headrest.

I honestly don't have any problems with low back pain. I'm more concern with my shoulder and neck areas.

There two major contributors of neck pain while driving are insufficient headroom and inadequate seat positioning. The S2K is known for poorly accommodating tall individuals. The ceiling is too low for an erect seated position, hence, the driver is forced to crunch down in the seat with a forward head posture. This is sure to elicit neck and upper back pain. Short drivers (I'm one of them) must be able to slide the seat forward to the extent that we do not have to lean forward and place our head in a forward position.

It is common for drivers to lean forward in the seat in order to comfortably reach the controls while driving. The result is not only strain and fatigue to spinal muscles but this creates a significant gap between the head and headrest. In the event of a rear-end collision the head and neck are vulnerable to whiplash injury because the gap allows the head to go backward into hyperextension. The research on whiplash indicates that the greater the gap between the head and the headrest, the greater the injury. I've also been searching for "add-on" headrest supports as these can close the gap between the head and headrest. I remember reading from one of my orthopaedic journals that about 95% of the existing car headrests provided insufficient neck support and the rest were rated as acceptable.

For individuals with history of low back problems, I would recommended that they choose a vehicle with a higher curb height so they are not traumatized when getting in and out of the car. I always recommend to my patients that he/she should always enter the car first by sitting down and then swinging the legs under the wheel. To leave the vehicle the seat should be slid back before swinging the legs out to plant the feet on the ground.

I've also noticed that most our patients eliminate low back pain who drive cars with automatic transmissions and power steering. These features lessen any twisting of the spine and strain to the low back. The OEM S2K seats should be fine provided you don't spend hours of driving on a daily basis.

Now, for my problem

Is anyone here know of car seats which would fit The S2K with adjustable headrest features?

Thanks
