Lady_Dawg Ex Member	Suggestions or Thread on Seats 11/27/05 at 16:13:59 All, This is my first post - - and i'm thinking of getting a new seat for my '05 S40. Could someone point me to a thread that discusses others opinions of the aftermarket seats or could you provide your thoughts/experiences? Thanks a million! JP

Welcome!

You've found the perfect resource to get questions answered.

I have an '05 S40 also. I couldn't find an after market seat. Please post if you find any. I ended up ordering the Suzuki Gel seat. I put it on, and took it off about a week later - hated it. It is slightly softer, but has an ever so slight narrower taper in the front that I never got used to. I'm 6ft so maybe someone with shorter legs might not mind.

I haven't bothered trying to sell mine, but if you're interested I'll sell at pretty heavy discount. I'll never use it again. Personal opinion - waste of $240

Several owners buy the classic version and say it stinks. Use that site to order from and make sure u get the pillow top version or order lancers gel seat pad which is another option..

The current default of 180 days is pretty good but you can change that if you want to look back farther.

I made mine more tolerable with the front of seat elevation mod and a sheepskin pad which can be had at Aero-Stitch or Alaskan Leathers. The pad makes the biggest difference and is worth it.

ethan Ex Member	Re: Suggestions or Thread on Seats Reply #9 - 12/06/05 at 09:08:14 Jim, interesting concept. I have a bicycle gel seat that I need to do something with. Do you have to sit on it exactly right in order for it to work? I tried putting pillow stuffing on top of the foam, but that didnt work too well... too lumpy. I need something for the passanger seat too. My gf says its uncomfortable.
