hi im hopeing to get some help on replaceing the drivers seat in my car.

i had a elegance mk 1 and it was very comfortble.

i have now got a clasic mkII that i suspect has been clocked and had front end damage

the drivers seat is very uncomfortble for both me [6ft and 17stone] and my wife 5ft

can anyone sugest a replacement as nerly every week i have to get a chiropractor to sort my back out as do alot of mileage.

i was thinking of something along the lines of a recaro or even if someone knows where id pick up a OEM seat easy enough round the dublin area ?

I can't help but I can sympathise! I'm a bit taller and heavier and have to snuggle down into the seat with a bit of bottom wiggling to get comfortable on a longer journey although I can handle shorter journeys OK. I find the side bolsters do dig in a bit much although with so much seat adjustment I'm not sure if I have the back/lumbar/base set just right but that comes down to trial and error.
