Hi guys! I have been driving my celica for almost 4 years now and i have noticed that after long trips my lower back starts to hurt... I know bucket seats + sports car combo isn't exactly meant to be comfortable for long journeys but i was wondering if you are experiencing anything similar. I love the "sitting in the car" as opposed to the "sitting on the car" feeling so I have adjusted the (stock) seat to the lowest possible setting. In addition, i have noticed that the lowest part of the back of the seat forms a small curve towards where it would normally meet the bottom part of the seat. Now that the bottom part is lower towards the floor that curve is pushing my back

I feel ya. I'm 6'5", so my adjustments are on the lowest, furthest setting. And I love taking long drives that are torture on my lower back. I think for me it kicks in on about the 4 hour mark. What I try to do (if its a long drive) is to take small breaks in between, get out and walk around (a pretty good excuse to take photos). And even though these seats are not the most comfortable, I have yet to find anything that I can drive all day in either.
