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*&.

Very easy. undo the 4 nuts that bolt the seat to the floor. Undo the connector if you have power seats. Take the seat into you living room so you can watch TV and have a beer (this is a crucial step (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) no skipping). Pull the plastic handle off the lever that folds the seat forward. Undo the leather cover at the bottom (it's kinda like a ziplock but not quite, you basically push the leather together to undo it). Roll the leather cover off carefully, the black strips you see in the picture is were the velcro is. Now is a good time to wash the leather with saddle soap. Then take the yellow padding off in one piece. Then you are down to the frame. An 8 yr old can do it.

You can then bend it. Cut the foam padding to any shape if you so desire. Or add extra padding somewhere. Took me several tries to get it exactly the way I wanted it. I bent each of the 2 brackets about 1 - 1.5 inches inwards. be careful not to pop the welds. Not as good as aftermarket seats, but better than stock.

I would buy aftermarkets seats too, but I'm always broke and frankly, there are others things I'd rather be spending money on.
