Is it just me, or do others find the seats in the Camaro horrible and painfull?

I recognize that the seats don't hold an occupant well when said occupant is engaged in vigorous driving, but heck I got in my car Sat and took a drive outbound for 1.5 hours and inbound for the same length of time. When I got in the car first thing my lower back was a bit sore. When I got home my back was a whole bunch sore. Today it is awful sore. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Are there others who have the same experience? Is there something about the design of these seats that causes back pain? Heck, I can drive my wife's Honda for hours without trouble, why? Do I need a new seat? What should I get? Or is it just my 47 year old back going to rat sh*&.

I should have taken a few when I did the install. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I'm not inclined to remove these seats just for photos, since it took almost as much time to mount the driver's seat as it did to change the passenger side spark plugs the first time! If you've seen the {edit(Corbeau)...}brackets on F-bodies, there is about a 3/4 inch step bent into the bracket for the front bolts, and the rears bolt to a bracket raised about two inches off the mounting bosses that are built into the floorboards. I flattened the front bent bracket with a sledge hammer and cut the rear brackets off. I drilled a new hole for the rear outer stud and cut off the rear inner stud. To replace it I drilled a hole throught the support beam and floorboard, found a matching bolt that was long enough and bolted it down to the beam from the bottom, both emulating a stud and pproviding the 3/16" space needed to level the rear of the frame. I drilled the bracket about an inch over from the previous hole (this is the only stud that would have interfered with the slider or seat) to match the new stud. I'll let you juggle one seat, two sliders and a bracket yourself, trying to start two nuts where you can't see and can barely touch the studs.



Was this too wordy? I guess I should just post pics...
