Front seat replacement options?
#16
I'm 6'1 and 190lbs and their great! second most comfy seat ive ever sat in.. most comfy were 2004-2007 volvo V70R/S60R seats. the third best were from a Jag XK those monsters were like a brilliant smelling heffer wrapped in a lazyboy arm chair!

The burritos help (says the 260 lb guy with tree trunk legs), but the rest takes some effort...
This is going to sound weird, but bear with me:
First, while standing next to the driver seat, reach across and grab the passenger seat belt and hold it with your right hand (you'll need something to hold on to)
Then, standing outside the car, grab the steering wheel with your left hand
Now that you have two good leverage points, take your bare/sock foot, and position your heel on the tip of the steel at the top of the thigh bolster (next to the brake lever)
Lean back, grit your teeth, and push. Use the seat belt and wheel to gain leverage, and apply pressure to the bolster with your heel, and it will slowly bend outwards.
Repeat while sitting sideways in the passenger seat for the outside thigh bolster.
I used a measuring tape, and gained just under 2" of space, and now I don't even think about seat issues when I drive (as opposed to cursing them daily).
