Lumbar support

I picked up my new 11 MCS last week and so far loving it minus the seat. I blame myself for not noticing this on the test drive but I guess the kid inside of me took over and didn't pay attention to the lousy support. I don't have the adjustment and it came with seat warmers so I would rather not change the seat just yet. Anyone added a simple pad they like? I saw one at tempur-pedic. I don't mind the 60 bucks for my comfort but would hate to spend it and not like it.

For all your back-health-related needs.

I, like you, would prefer a bit more lumbar support in the sport seats. I only feel it on longer drives.

Just install the factory option and you will be happy.

Would rather not retrofit the OEM option owing to portability.
Want to be able to transfer to my Jeep or to the wife’s cars should we take one of hers.

Nope. Wish I could, but every back is different.

[ThreadJack]Mo’Phat: any pics of your car? Sounds a lot like my setup. I’d be interested to see how it looks in a Clubman.[/ThreadJack]

I like the idea of the factory upgrade. I'm going to look into that more. That website was also a great site. Might get some stuff.

Thanks
