I use a local guy to rebuild seats. Unique has bad seats. They are not designed for long trips. They look great. Ricky added lumbar support and denser foam in the bottom of the seat near the area where you knee almost touch the seat. It gives support to the leg just behind the knee. Most modern car have this support in their seats. We have to remember that Cobra seats were used in a race car in the sixties.
On one seat for a helicopter pilot with a bad back I had Ricky to change the seat material four times till Mike was happy with the way it sat.
He would combine 1/2" soft foam with 1" hard foam to get the feel Mike wanted.
I also tilted the seat back a little using square washer sold at the electrical - mechanical supply houses to raise the front of the seat. They are 1 5/8" square and a 1/4' thick with different hole size, 1/4", 3/8" etc. Lowes and Home Depot may sell them.
