Hi Bricksters!

The driver's seat in my 80GT is, believe it or not, in pretty good shape. Too bad, because I bet a collapsed cushion would be exactly what I want.

With the big sway bars, minor lowering, wagon springs, and KYB struts, this thing handles better than the seat can allow:-) I can brace myself on the passenger seat on left turns, but I can't hang onto the gearshift on right handers... hehe heh.

I wonder if I can enlargen (if that's a word, a perfectly cromulent one?) the bolsters on the sides of the seat bottom and near the lumbar area.

I have an ancient set of Recaros, but I don't really want to give up the comfort of the stock seats... I just want to feel a little more secure when tossing my Brick around at .80G+

Many thanks!
