I don't know if it's just me, but after 10-15 minutes of driving my lower back starts to cramp up and hurt a bit.

A lot of people compliment the seats in a good way, but I'm not too sure about that.

Highly considered changing the seats out for some Recaro's, but then of course we run into the infamous SRS situation. :woowoo:

Why is everyone always hatin on each other? Dont agree with a thread, dont act like a douche in it.

As for the seats, I happen to like mine a lot. Havent noticed any pain

 

[x2ruff4u]

Yes to be honest I do agree. I recently had a MRI scan and results showed me I have a ruptured disc (high grade) on my L4-L5. I have to put a pillow on the seat just so I can sit up right. Im 5'11 180lbs. I tryed adjusting the seat as much as I could but nothing works, I cannot drive the car without the pillow.

Swap to a Mercedes Benz seat if you want comfort.

I've driven mine cross country and it was super comfortable. you must have the body of a 90 year old.

Don't get the recaros just because f that. I know EXSTLY what you are talking about. I went to "Relax The Back" and for 50 bucks bought a awesome memory foam lumbar supporter. It;s great. No pain even after a 6 hour ride. The thing straps around the back of the seat and locks in. I would go check that out. Mine is grey though because I had it in my integra with the grey seats so if you walk past my car and see it, it looks like a 90 year olds car but if you get the black it will look good and totally help your back out.


They shod have other colors in the store.

i did a 18 hour drive in my fg2 no problems, then i did a 4 hour drive in my mugen a couple years later and i couldnt move the next day, if i cant find a seat that doesnt mess with my back, i will end up selling the mugen,

By the way, since you mentioned Recaro. Aren't the Civic Si seat are manufactured by Recaro too?

No, don't say that. We still need you for hook up with USDM Mugen parts when we want it.

 

[RyansSI]

Everybody is different, some peoples back's are already worse than others due to work, sports, any other activities that could cause more back strain...I've got nothing but compliments on how the seats feel but there not the most comfortable seat out there either

when push comes to shove ill have to let it go, it hurts to just drive to work and back 15 minute drive one way, not much of a choice, plus the suspension is stiff enough to aggravate the back injury i have when i hit a bump

 

[realxlai]

I love my seats. Have you tried adjusting it in various ways?

 

[midnitesi]

ive tried everyway possible, i have a lower and upper back injury from a car accident in my fg2, no position helps both injuries at once

 

[GSXRSpeed]

I drove mine on a 14 hour trip and once and had no problems.

i was going to recommend deadlifts to develop a stronger back to allow you to drive your mugen but seeing as you're injured, i wont

 

[midnitesi]

well like i said earlier gsxrspeed, i did 18 hours ONE WAY straight and never had a problem in the fg2 i had, but the mugen is different

do what?

 

[civicsi13]

idk if i"d call them over rated its just peoples bodies are different. i like my seats compared to a lot of cars but they are far from the best...Recaros:biggrin:

 

[GIOSAC]

:word: :1: :yeahthat:

My first two minutes i was like...omg i don't like it as much as the EX seats...now i f**ing love 'em soooo much. Corner like this in a EX LX or whatever and you will hit the window!! LOL just kidding, but the are in deed a MUST in this car!:usa:
