Default slk 230/320 seats better, worse, the same?

We all know that long trips in the crossfire get to be uncomfortable to say the least... Maybe its just me being 6 foot 2 with the seat as far back as it will go but my question is are the 320 seats any better in the lumbar department? I was scrolling through the mountain of R170 parts on ebay and ran across some seats and the price is just to high to buy and try.

Limited and SRT seats are the same as the SLK 32 AMG...

The Base Crossfire has the same seats as the regular 320, but they're cloth. A bit more room, but not sure on the lumbar support.

the 230/320 mercedes seats are shorter in the back with an adj. headrest. the xfire uses the amg seat frames in all the cars with the base seats being manual with a different material. the limited and srt-6 are the same as the slk32 (power seats) with the difference being the material used and the logos embossed on the seat

theres a simple fix for your lumbar issues. what a bunch of benz guys have done is slip a small inflatable lumbar pillow behind the seat material. then at the bottom of the seat back bring out the thin airline that the hand pump goes to. this allows you to fill the bladder with air thus lumbar support! cost was about 20$

Your my hero!!! Being that my XF is a daily driver it can get to be unbearable until your sitting at a red light re adjusting and catch a glimpse of one of the 100,000,000 mustangs in the world pulling up to you.... 0-90 in a xf will wreck a v6 mustang its hilarious unless of course its a twin turbo 2011 in that case pack your bags and go home....
