TheStig44 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Hi all, I've had my Exige V6s for 6 months now and I do adore the thing. But anything more than about an hour in it and my lower back gets really sore. I've tried using a camping mat as extra padding but it doesn't help. Has anyone suffered the same issue and found a solution? Cheers, Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Brendonian Posted October 22, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 I've only had mine a couple of weeks, not done any long journeys in it, but yes I do feel I start to get a little lower back pain after driving. I think it needs a little more lumbar support. My first Elise came with an inflatable bladder behind the padding in the lumbar region. Can't help feeling these seats need the same. Following this thread with interest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toqcars Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Wonder if there is any difference (comfort wise) between the standard and carbon seat. Anyone tested? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted October 27, 2021 Report Share Posted October 27, 2021 The carbon seats have less padding thickness in the lower back area than the standards I had in my former exige s. Tried gel pad from motorcycle supply, does help a bit. 1 Quote Website with information and pictures PBB St Tropez convertible Esprit: http://www.lotusespritconvertible.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFWilliams Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 This is why I swapped to Tillett seats, I couldn’t do more than 45 mins with my Lotus seats without getting back pain. Tilletts are perfect, I’ve done 23 hours straight of driving and the seats weren’t an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toqcars Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Great to hear that. How good are the Tillett seats for the track activities? I guess we can't have it all 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're actually suggesting a yoga move? Surely the Lotus position is more appropriate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
