So i just got my MCS with the cloth sport seats on tuesday. Love the car so far. When i first got in I was impressed with how much lumbar there was. Usually cars don't have enuff. But after a day or so i was starting to wonder wether or not there was too much lumbar. Here's something that helped me....
Usually i tend to sit in a fairly relaxed position with my seat back tilted back a bit. With the extreme lumbar i noticed that my middle and upper back was hardly even touching the seat if any at all. So I brought the seat-back into more of an upright position. Not by much, just a little. That seemed to minimize the pressure from the lumbar and let my upper back rest on the seat-back too. Now it's pretty darn comfy! :smile:
Anyway, i thought this might help some of those that I've seen complain about the lumbar. It may just take some adjustment and playing around.
