If someone is considering selling their sport buckets let me know

 

Since the thread has morphed into seat comfort...

I have std seats in the car (power with heaters) but I get sore after about 2 hours. Not bad sore, but a little uncomfortable. On longer drives I need to get out and stretch/walk around, which is a new experience for me.

In the summer I put in a pair of euro GT3 seats for track use. I can drive all day and night in those with no discomfort at all. But they don't have heaters, so I swap for winter.

I've been looking at putting aftermarket seat heaters in the GT3 seats for next year...

So I'm not at all surprised to see other posts with sport buckets or whatever being more comfortable than the base seat.

 

Here is another 2009 C4S in Meteor Gray with Sport Seats (not Bucket Seats) with ancantera inserts.

OK, here we go. I purchased an '09 C4S with those sport buckets. Hate them! They are so uncomfortable, I purchased some adaptive sport seats from an '05. The seats will fit, however the electronics being, i.e. plugs matching contacts, compatible are not. The driver seat will not power up. Have 12 DC coming in from car, but not match on the *** seats. As for the passenger seat, powers up, however have pig-tail supply plug from car that does not have a match to the '05 seat because the seat does not have a weight sensor. Any help on getting the driver's seat to power up? Or other suggestions. And yes the carbon fiber sport buckets are for sale. Thanks,

My back is bad too (SI joint problems).
Found the sport seats to be fantastic - much more comfortable than the standard seats.
They're slightly more difficult to get in and out of, but so worth it!
