widening of stock leather seat...?
 
I have a 34-36 inch waist and the bolsters on the seat bottom dig into the sides of my thighs. It gets pretty uncomfortable at times in the sense that any trip longer than 2 hours is pretty uncomfortable.


Question is... Has anyone had the bottom of the seat widened an inch or two before?

I dont mean to sound like a dick...wouldnt it be better to cut a size down? it would be cheaper and more beneficial...just my 2 cents

Trade with someone for lancer seats.

I'm a 34-36 and don't even find the seats snug. Odd.

I'm a 38 waist. Chubby. But also broad shouldered and stout. Seats are fine to me.

I'm heavy..like enough where drag racing dreams are wasted.

Sit in them enough and they'll fit better :-D working for me

Oh you MF'er! Lol. I guess all you boys are built like a Thai 12 year old ladyboy.

It is the bolsters at the front of the seat that push into my mid thighs. Bolsters on the seatback are fine, and the ones where my ass goes are fine too. Just the forward ones.

Regardless I didn't ask everyone's opinion of their waist size and how well they fit in the seat.

Welcome to club, Matt, both in having this problem (while not being fat) and in getting a highly useful from Ken in your thread about it. I've tried several "fixes" and the only one that worked was a thin cushion beneath me. On long trips, I also shift the seat forward or back once every 45 minutes or so, to move the point of contact around a bit.

I'm really not to sure if your serious or sarcastic in your answer. But I found mine have widened or expanded a little from when they were new. And you suggestion of a cushion is a good one. I do the same as needed.

Also my wife is pretty thin. I think around 130lbs. And she hates the seats with a passion.

I've got about 6.4k miles on the car. I'll deff try the cushion deal and see how it goes. Thanks for the tips!
