my friend is having back issues on long drives and wishes to have a comfortable seat to use when driving her RX8. any recommendations?

 

does she have leather or cloth?

I have issues, but have found the leather seat to be fine. Between the height, pan tilt and lumbar support, it works well. The cloth seat is a bit less adjustable. I run Schroth Rally 4 belts through the cutout and they work fine.

I am 6 foot, about 210 lbs. how tall is your friend?

 

RX-8 seats are great, for comfort you really can't do any better. Hers might just be worn out. is she the original owner? Is she a large woman?

 

She is looking to buy a 2004 or 2005. She's under 200, not too big or small. If that helps
