Hi everyone, enjoying my new Graphite Crossfire Coupe. ONe thing I'm trying to figure out is that I've had neck problems for a number of years, and back problems from my car from three years ago after getting hit by a n 18 wheeler. I find the bucket seat placement in the X-Fire to be comfortable in position for the back, but in order to make it more confortable for the neck, makes the position more unconfortable for the back. I've tried a neck pillow to make things more confortable, but I'm afraid it isn't working. Any suggestions?

Our cars aren't very comfortable (my opinion), so in regards to the neck pillow, i don't know what tell you. Maybe getting one of the massaging seat covers and adding some more cushion to the upper back area perhaps will alleviate some discomfort.

 

What is this, a sleeping forum?

Just kidding.

In all honesty though, the crossfire isn't for someone with body aches.

 

I have to agree with you on that Heb80

 

i have a piece of my spine fractured off and have severe back pain. i find the seats to be good especially when adding heat all the time.

much better than my acura rsx s.

 

Damn, i'm impressed you were able to stay in the RSX then, they have zero padding and no heated seats option

 

I would love a tilting headrest option. Can't beat BMW seats!
I though about fashioning something to rest my head against.

(no jokes from the boys please)

 

Before you know it people will be sleeping in their crossfires. haha

 

You mentioned a massaging seat cover, I'm not familiar with that....is that sold at auto parts places?

 

See if you can hit this link - http://www.autostreak.com/car_accessories.htm (copy and paste it in to your browser) That has some info and pics of them. 12v heated massaging lumbar seat covers/cushion

 

Another alternative for those of you with aching backs could be this; http://on-trackperformance.com/recaro_sport.htm

 

Would having the seat in as upright a position as possible be helpful? That's basically how we walk and stand. I rec'd a compression fracture of one of my lumbar vertebrae and have some slightly bulging discs but find an upright position works best. Too much recline and everything slumps. A lumbar support (even a rolled up towel) to maintain your spinal curvature may help.
