Who's replaced their seat(S) due to discomfort?
 
I just replaced the steering wheel with a Momo and Works Bell hub which helped with the overall feel of the car but the seat is still killing my back. I'm seriously thinking about an aftermarket seat. Please post your setup and how you like it over stock as far as comfort.

Thanks!

my favorite pair of recaros are sitting in my closet until i get off my ass and get custom seat bracket fabricated. i'm also not a huge fan of the stock seats. i don't find them overly uncomfortable but they don't hold in skinny guys like me the corners.

I hear ya there. I talked to Corbeau today as they make a bracket for the Fit, reasonably priced below $100. Now I have to find places that stock some seats to test "sit".

sheepskins (ugh) help a little, still fiddling with padding but sits me up too high with padding. more than two hours behind the wheel and I get pain in the leg and back.

Try to use RSX cloth seats or the EP3 Si seats. I'm a skinny guy and I've sat in those seats and they hold very well. Way more support than the stock seats. My butt starts hurting after 2 hours of driving.

I got them largely for thigh and knee support, although the permanent lumbar support is also a big plus. The stock seat doesn't have much of all those three. Long-drive comfort spiked up 100% - I no longer complain about stints in my Jazz longer than 4 hours.

Made a DIY thread on its install. Click the link on my signature.
