The seat destroying your back. I've had moderate to severe back problems for nearly 16 years now, so I am interested. It's the entry and exit that bother my back more than anything - not the seat itself.

![]() Sorry to hear that. That being said, however, the cloth seats in my '11 Z are by far the best I've come across. I drove a Cruze from Charlotte to DC (5.5 hrs) to pick up my Z and my shoulder socket was popping and I had a sharp pain just above my right hip. The drive home took 6.5-7 hrs in the Z and it was, no joking, 'just right'. I had no pains in my back, none in my shoulder. I'm 6'2", 173lbs. Maybe you can adjust the seat position or bottom dials a little better and not to just what feels good for the first 30 minutes (not certain that's the case). I can only compare these seats to an 07 Civic, 05 Protege5, 05 Pontiac GTP, 95 Integra GSR, 96 Neon, 89 Bronco, 78 RamCharger, 04 Ram, 89 Lebaron, 89 Caprice, 91 Escort wagon, 78 LeMans, 78 LeSabre, 67 Pont.GTO, 54 Chevy (flatbed deuce and a half), '64.5 Mustang, 69 Mustang, and a few more I've owned. I hope you don't have any further pains from the seats in the car and hope a solution is as simple as a re-adjustment. (seriously, some people never learned how to adjust their seat properly- hell, my fiance held her bright-light lever back towards her for years until I said she could just pop it forward and they would stay on. From that day, her nickname has been 'bright-lights'). GL!

This has been discussed a ton. The base seats (which I have in mine) are pretty bad, I mean they are fine if you like did a good workout are fully awake and ready to tackle the world, but if your like tired, hungover or sore, the lower portion of the seat digs into you - simple reason is the lack of padding.
Its a mod I want to do down the road, upgrade to Recaro Sportster CS I've seen a couple members have then on here and pretty sure they got the airbag thing also fixed after the switch over. You can get very comfy seats and yet very supportive - just look at the seats that come with the Boss Mustang.
