Kyle, here is the solution to your seat problem. I don't think they have lumbar support, but they look so gorgeous, you wouldn't care...http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/a...-cf-seats.html

I'm recovering from spine surgery number 7, with 3 levels fused....so I am pretty desperate to either replace or improve my seats. I have also considered some good old fashioned sheep skin seat covers, with a little memory foam in the lumbar area.

Good luck. Please keep us posted on your solution.
That thread was started by yours truly. It took me a year to finally find a good seating position in these seats. Once I did, I pulled the fuse so that no one, myself included, could mess with the seat angle - which is critical with these seats.

The seats in my wife's Cayman are a world better than the seats in my 996. The sport seats in my old '84 are even better than the Cayman seats. The race buckets I use in the '84 for track days are better than either of those. What the he11 were the powers-that-be smoking when they approved those lousy seats that the 996 came with?

Best of luck to the OP.
