I had the same problem and that influenced my decision to get the seats recovered localy. I asked him to inprove on these areas so what he did was use a more ridged foam on the sides, both back and bottom. So now you just sink into them and I find them even more comfy than my 79 was. But I still like the clamshell design for rear access. Check out the pic's and let me know what you think.

I was thinking the same thing as Paul. The 78 Pace Car seats and the 79-82 manual seats should bolt right in. I think you have to modify the passenger side to fit the power seats in though.
