Lower back hurts riding in the Z?

I want a Z

I have a memory foam lumbar support cushion that I got from Office Depot and use in my office, it should work great the car.

Office Depot Brand Memory Foam Back Rest 2 516 H x 13 34 W x 14 18 D Black by Office Depot

ill try out the different stretching exercises and look into the cushions if they don't remedy the issue after a week or two. i'm 6'2" and 185lb. i go to the gym 3-5 days a week so i'm not out of shape (other than still smoking =/ ). i've situated the seats so that my head has about 2-3 inches from the roof but i do notice that i'm naturally tense driving in the Z lol, i would imagine that is adding to the problem like kenchan said.
thanks for the help everyone

That must be an old back injury. Not another thing to blame the 370Z for. I'm 6"0" and have driven the 370Z straight for over 9 hrs and the 350Z for over 10 hrs and never had any back problem.

Back off the donuts, that might help...

Sometimes back pain is caused by weak abs. A tight core can do wonders for back pain.

I have 2 messed up discs in my spine and arthritis in my spine and driving the 370Z less than an hour actually helps my back pain. More than an hour and it begins to get pretty sore.

370Z Purist

Many other cars I've driven for periods longer than an hour made me sore. The Z doesn't give me that problem. I find that reclining the seat slightly to avoid making me sit perpendicular to gravity alleviates any back discomfort. I'm in good shape, so it's definitely not my having to do with being in shape, I guess.

so i did some stretches today and also noticed a lever on the right side of the seat, near the center console. didn't see that before and pulled it down and realized it was a secondary lumbar support. my back didn't bother me today so i think that fixed it. not sure how i didn't see it before but i think the problem is solved.
