fits perfect... watch you seating positions.. don't lean the seat back too much.... these are probably one of the more/most comfortable seats... drive in it for 4.5 hours yesterday(in one stint)... felt good.

After a bad wreck, (not S2K) my foot hurts if my back is not totaly alignd perfect, I essentialy need a micro adjust knob or power seats to acomidate(sp?), so these seats are PAINFULL!!! That is why after only 300 miles mine are for sale. The seats are awesome to everyone else I know who has sat in them though.

I wish they were narrower. Better yet I wish that I wasn't 5'7" and had a small frame.

I wish I wasn't 6ft, I'm trying to find a way to lower my seats. If I can't find a way, I'm going to order a set of Sparco seats.

Ref DVO's hip pain, I have noticed similar pains in the left hip after about an hour in the car. I intend to experiment with different seating settings. Probably due to the compression effect of slim (but very snug and otherwise comfortable) seats and frequent use of the left leg on country roads.

I'll advise if I find a cure - please do likewise. I'd hate to have to let my wife drive my car, even though it's named after her!

Good wishes for the summer in the USA from England in the spring!

I've got "chronic" back pain and thus I usually sit close for someone my height. I found the car did not have enough lumbar support so I simply added a piece of foam to the center section of the seat. I used a "sleeping bag roll" designed to be placed under a sleeping bag when camping. It's very dense and only 1/2" thick so I doubled it up. It was relatively easy to pull the center section out just enough and "stuff" the foam in with my wifes help. I suppose to "proper way" is to take the seat cover apart, but I managed to get it done without that step. Much better now!

Have found the seats very comfortable. Have driven the S2K 15 hours / 1K miles with no stops other than for gas and coffee. No aches or pains.

Damn, I'm lucky. The seats fit me perfect. Or maybe I fit the seat perfect. Whatever, it's like...guess I better not compare it that way.
