Lower back pain from cloth seats

shadoquad · 10-31-2012, 06:30 PM

I agree with buddyZ. I'd say that the leather ones are comfier, but they're not. I've driven both.

A G37 is quite comfy though.

I actually have spinal stenosis and disk degeneration on my L4/L5. I have pain all the time (bending/lifting) however I have gotten used to the pain. With being said, I have zero pain sitting in the cloth seats

I don't have much discomfort, either. I've driven my Z to events 11+ hours away and had some foot pain or leg pain. The leather seats caused me some irritation because of my "generous" physique

Same here. I find these sets to b way more comfortable than my previous cars and the Altima rental i had recently. My sciatica was killing me after about 10 mins in the Altima..

I take everything out of my pockets before getting in my car. that might help you. you could also get a lumbar support pillow?

Having owned one i have to agree... BUT, my wider friends thought my seats were too narrow even in the G. If you're body stature leans to overweight? The Z or G is not going to be the most comfy car in the world due to how narrow seating is.
This is where, mustang,camaro, challenger and even naturally crappy vette seats win. The bolstering in those cars accommodates wider bodies than most Japanese and some European sports cars.
