How about new seat rails? They will lower your drivers seat and give you more legroom.

buy a civic, you can get a decent one for under 4 grand. My dad's civic ex is pretty comfy, and we commute ~ 1.5 hours a day. Gets an easy 36 mpg too on highway on regular gas, too.

[QUOTE=Saki GT,Dec 13 2007, 10:40 PM] Nothing will really make the S more comfy, its just a hard edge sports car.

Get a set of AP1 rims with a set of Grand Touring All Season tires. The larger and softer sidewall will improve the car's ride A LOT.

Now, don't take it to the twistie roads with those. They will lack the stock steering feel and responce.

3. S-pods for better stereo.
No. There are FAR better ways to spend your money to upgrade the stereo. Check the electronics forum.

thanks guys!

Ok, I'm spoiled. I do have a daily (EG hatch), but I love driving my S much more - it's just every now and then it's nice to have a real trunk, be able to recline the seat more than a seat in the coach section of an airplane, and not have to huddle under the steering wheel while making a phone call.

Upgrading audio, dynamat, maybe a HT. Hmm....

buy some decent quality seats and a half decent radio, got to be the best option

ya know, we all know the s is our little race car and we all love it for that. i like being slightly uncomfy occasionally because it reminds me what i'm in and how i need to appreciate it.

buy yourself a run-around if you don't think the s will cut-it. don't change what's already a fabulous vehicle
