Soft Seats = Bad Back???

[Dancing Fish 0]

Hi All,

 

I have a 1.816v with standard seats.

 

I believe the seats are a bit soft and are thus giving me some back jip.

 

Does anyone else think this, and is there anything i can do, such as putting stuff in, rather than on, the seats??

 

Thanks in advance for your helpful advice,

 

DF.

Mine were quite comfy although a little slim for my slender 17stone :?

Had early C seats in my Mk1 and these gave me back pains but the ones in my late spec C are fine - no probs at all :)

I wonder if they improved lumber support on the later seats?

Maybe if ya car has done a few miles then they are gettin a wee bit soft/tired.

 

Time to replace for a leather low mileage interia. :D

Just noticed something that might do the trick depending on where your seats are soft, have a look :)

I was suffering from backache when i first bought the C. I replaced all of the foam within the drivers seats on my C and bolsters and now i have a snug fitting seat which is well comfortable.

My old Golf Driver gave me permanent back-ache. The seats felt like they were carved from granite and if I drove for any longer than an hour I would be in need of stetcher support at the other end. I don't think there was any padding left at all.

 

My leather Corrado seats are lovely though. The key is that they're bucket-like and provide support under my leg/knee area. Which is essential because I'm quite tall.

i had a stiff back and aches when i first had the C, i just put the seat a little more upright and it was fine after that
