Default Lumbar Support Anyone

On long trips in the S I usually have trouble getting comfortable after about an hour or so due to poor back support by the stock seats. Tonight I was cleaning my car and discovered the insearts in the back of the seat just kinda float there. So had some scrap anit-fatigue mat material laying around the shop. I cut a couple pieces and inserted them in between the inseart and seat back. After adjusting to my taste I found a much more comfortable seat. Just a though for those who find that the stock seats do not offer enough support.

Go to miatamania.com or search for Moss Miata. They have an inflatable lumbar that is perfect for our seats. Takes five minutes to install.

You've saved my back w/ this ingenious idea. I went to Costco and bought a memory pillow cut it into quarters and they fit perfectly. The left over pieces are perfect for neck supports pillows. For less than $30 I have ergonomic seats now.

Many thanks for this great mod dt49396!
