Default Poor lumbar support?

Anyone else find these seats actually uncomfortable?

I had a Corsa VXR and the Recaro's were out of this world for comfort and support.

These seats in the S2K look the part, but I get lower back aches. Anything I can do to make them comfier?

Is this the case on everyones or has the car had a really fat owner who has squashed my seats lol!?

Possibly a BYS seat rail, if you're really tall?

It will drop the cushion, like one can in most Hondas.

I think the seat is excellent and I have it fully upright like a true ricer.

The seats are ok - comfy for regular driving, but below par when you push it.

Get a bucket seat and never look back.
