Hey Fred,
I'll definitely need to wait & see how this new one works out first. I'd LOVE to be lower, have the extra legroom and side bolster, and be able to safely use the shoulder harnesses... but it really does say something that I can do 16-hour days in these stock seats without gripe of my bony butt each year that we run the Dragon & Cherohala, or I do the impromptu run to Florida or Boston.
But yes, they're black - and I'll let you know if it all works out & I decide to part with them!
Basque: just out of curiosity, has your wife tried a rice pack behind her lumbar region while sitting in the car, or is it more a matter of getting in and out? I've had back problems also, and I find the rice pack helps pretty well on trips.

The Lone Star cars (also 4" longer) use seats out of a Mazda. Very comfy, nice lumbar support that is adjustable, and enough side support to keep you from sliding around.

I've got seats from a '90s Acura Integra in my Hunter Cobra. Very comfy, and I only paid $50 for the pair at a junkyard. I had them recovered in leather by a local upholstery shop.
In the car (before paint)

Do you know which Mazda they came out of? Miata / MX-5 seats may be difficult to find in my neighbourhood.

you want to be lower you must be a tall one, half the time i'm sitting on a pillow...

Wow... that's surprising to hear. I'm ~6'2", but most of my height is in my legs, not torso. Yet and still, my eye level is just under the frame of the windshield unless I purposely slump down some. Maybe different mounts or something on mine? |

No her problem is the neck where she had surgery, she has to slump down to fell half way decent.
