Lumbar support in race seat?? - LotusTalk

plastique999 · 10-06-2008, 08:29 AM

I have the Reverie XC seat with Nova suede padding...everything is snug and comfortable....except lumbar support on long trips (>2 hrs.)

I'm driving from L.A. up to Palo Alto (about 5 hrs.), and I need a temporary lumbar "pillow"....anyone use a small cushion of some sort - and where did you get it?

Eddie, Sparco makes a velcro in lumbar pad. You could just stick it under the suede pad.

I made my own from the green foam sold at fabric stores. Really easy 15 minute job. 6" thick.

Thanks Brent...I picked up the Sparco lumbar pad for my long 5 hour ride up north...I drove with it for 3 hours, and had a slight lower back discomfort.
Removed the lumbar pad for the remaining 2 hours and was pretty much fine.
I think the Reverie seat is more comfortable than I thought.

Have a nice trip up north. Go drive some coastal roads in Marin. Too bad you won't be at Spring Mountain LCS, but we'll see at the next one, SCed
