Does a "Seat stiffening bracket set" Exist?
I've noticed after driving my Z for a month now that the seat backs really flex back when using any power. I doesn't inspire confidence when going WOT throttle and you lean back 3-4 inches. I don't want after market seats as the stock ones look great with the 2 tone black/red and the leather is nice. Is there a kit I can get and remove the leather covers and weld brackets in? to stiffen things up.
Thanks!
Thanks!

The seat backs are composite, so more than likely you'd be using fiberglass to fasten said stiffener to. I'd like to see if anyone's done this myself. Have you done the bolster mod yet? I don't know how *ahem* "healthy" you are, but the bolsters can be moved in to tighten them up on your sides simply by unzipping the cover and moving them.

I think you are referring to the 'rocking chair' problem, mine does the same, rocking forward and back a bit. There is a fix for it listed here somewhere, I read about it but haven't gotten to it yet.
