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 kindasad.gif

I have JDM SS-III seats, I think you do too, Josh (spider77). And I'm fine after the drive from DFW to Albuquerque... although I am only 5'9" lol
