Default 997.2 Help with Standard Seats no Lumbar

This is my first post, my 2010 911 C4S has standard seats with no lumbar support adjustment. They would be more comfortable to me with more support for my lower back. Has anyone found a solution, even a simple lumbar support cushion that fits? Thanks!

I ordered a manual blood pressure cuff from amazon (for like $10)
I left the bag to inflate the cuff on, but removed the instrument to read the blood pressure and sealed the hole
Then I wedged the cuff behind the back support of my seat, (you can lift it and move it carefully to the right location.
Now you can slowly add air to the cushion until it feels right
Yes, very redneck but it works and was cheap

Hi Hatzenbach, thanks for the suggestion...I had read about that approach for an FJ Cruiser too. Will think about it but for now probably don't want to modify the seats too much.

That "mod" is totally reversible. You pop out the seat back slide the blood pressure cuff in and pop the sear back back in. If you do it right then the one rubber hose you need (to control inflation of the cuff) will sit in the gap between the seat and the seat back virtually invisible
