Default More Comfortable Seat?

Ok so im lookin for a cheap way to get some more butt cushion from my seats.. after riding in basically any other car, I have noticed that my birds seats feel like a concrete bench... Is there an easy way to maybe have an apholsteryshop slips some foam in there or something? I really hate when my lower back starts hurting from driving in my car for long periods of time.. and im 18!!!!! Thanks

My Trans-AM had lumbar support. Granted the seats are harder than alot of others. Generally speaking though, I really liked the Trans-AM seats in the fourth gen cars.

Nothing I've sat in beats the GTO seats though.

they can do it for you normaly fairly cheaply. however you have more then just the seat if your lower back causees you trouble. have him strip it down and do the rear lumbar and side bolsters as well making them stiffer rater then softer helps and build them out. I have this done to my camaro and have had very good result's on it. people that sat in the car realy can notice the differnce and it's very comfortable and makes spirted driveing a little bite easier.

The most comforatable seats ive sat in, in a sports car btw, would be c4 corvette seats. The optional ones.

They are a bare to get into, with the huge side ballasters, and are pretty ugly ( to me, my dad loves them ) but they are damn comforatable.
