Default Additional padding options for LWB seats?

I wanted to know if there are any options to purchase out there to add additional padding (mostly lumbar) for the LWB seats? My wife has a bad back and bad lumbar issues and I would like to have some options available for when the car comes in. I want to make her happy from the beginning.... It would be nice to have something nicer than just the standard round or half round pads that are purchased from amazon or local relax the back store. I would even consider custom fit for her (in matching Alcantara) if available.

A local auto upholstery shop should be able to custom make something.

^ That, or a few GT3 LWB owners have said that this helps a lot, and also come in a smaller travel size (not sure which is the better fit for the LWB): http://www.tempurpedic.com/cushions/...barcushion.asp

If things dont work out ( I hope they do for you and your wife)
No worries as I am sure you could find a buyer for those seats

This "BackCycler" product
on Amazon on Amazon
has been touted by some on the GT3 forum with LWB seats and back problems as being the best solution due to its active pumping movement vs. a static cushion.

Personally, I have found one of the very small "quarter moon" static lumbar cushions placed at just the right height perfect for my needs.
YMMV,
TT
