Rep Power: 270 rofl. nice link. but ya i adjusted the seats but no luck all the thing does it higher and lower the whole seat not just the bottom. i guess ill just have to ride this seat for couple months then see how it is. hopefully i just need to break it in.
edit:i dont think the 05 seats have a lumbar *** only **** i see is the bar on the bottom to go forward nd bak, the little wheel that rises nd lowers the seat, nd the *** to tilt the seat. i have no clue.

Rep Power: 270 it feels as tho yer bak is like in a c or f position. where the bottom bak portion sticks out and the top bak portion its completely fine. Thumbs up on honda for not making a lumbar positioner on the damn seats. i might just put some seat covers on there to make myself feel comfortable unless someone can tell me how to fix that problem nd i bet the only solution is to just break-in the seats.
My SL65 rim, because a rim is all I can afford

You can generally get Acura RSX cloth seats for $250, those are far better, with lumber support and the whole nine yards.
As far as I know, no civic has lumbar support, maybe the Si, not sure, but no DX, LX, VP, HX, or EX I've seen has it. And I've owned a '03 EX and '04 EX and drove an '01 LX and '02 LX.

Rep Power: 270 how the heck am i suppose to leave weights on the seats? pull the seat all the way bak so its almost at a 180 degree then put the weights ontop? i think i might try that

Rep Power: 812 My 02 seats were terrible for back support and my back would always hurt. Got some corbeau a4 and soo much better. Stocks are in the closet.

Rep Power: 288 i have an 02, seats dont bother me in terms of comfort. maybe its too stiff for some ppl? what pisses me of is that the 01-02 driver seat rocks back and forth, actually as we speak its at the dealership again for the 3rd time. first time was a bushing that was 03-29-04. then this week, my car was stuck in the dealership for 3 days cuz they wouldnt put my seat back together when they order parts for it, the whole seat assembly was replaced, but they coudlnt get there hands on a bracket so my seat back rocks back and forth and not my seat bottom. today i brought it into an another dealership for them to check it out and they ordered their bracket for me.

Rep Power: 812 def not stiff. in fact they are very cushy compared to other seats. It's just that there's no support. Feels like a big couch you're sitting on. I never had the rocking problem.

i was riding in a 96 corolla. that seat was uncomfortable, the felt like theres a rock sticking out of the seat and i had to lean forward, also the seat felt small. my shoulder was at the same height as the headrest and im only 5'9".

Rep Power: 812 Well you'll see if you sit on race seats. It feels very hard at first, but you get used to it and the shape doesn't make your back hurt. I had to drive a pontiac for a while and it was even worse. Felt like I was sitting on some shirt cause there was a bump in the middle.

Rep Power: 270 im about 5'11 or somewhere around there but the way i sit in the car is a little slouched nd leaned bak a bit. but i still feel uncomfortable probably because its basically new seats so i need to get used to them. it does feel like a rock is sticken out of the lower back portion of the seat maken me kind of lean foward not too pleasant
