Default C6 Seats

So, I'm not a small guy, about 6'3" and around 200#s (slightly less maybe). This 12 Corvette GS seat is just about the most uncomfortable one ever made or it's broken. I feel like it bottoms out when I sit down in it and that I'm being poked in an uncomfortable place, if you know what I mean. I can't really feel anything with my fingers so it's really difficult to explain unless you feel it with your back end. I hate taking it on long drives because I don't look forward to the uncomfortable result. Anyone else have any similar experiences or it is just me?

First thing you might try, IF you currently have the seat positioned as low as it will go, try raising it about 1/2"+. There is a lot of stuff under there and no room for it. Quite a few have mentioned what you are asking about. Seems not all cars are exactly the same and of course not all people are the same.

Default Try this

Have you tried to adjust the seat? I am not trying to bash you at all.I have owned 3 Vettes and have found that it takes about a month or more to adjust the seat to my satisfaction.Is your seat adjusted all the way down? if so try to bring it up slightly until you can see out the window comfortably.Then adjust the distance you need to reach the pedals.Adjust the seat to tilt forward or to the rear until the adjustment fits you. If your seat has the adjustments for the air adjust those to your liking.It will take a while, If you try these suggestions I Think you will see improvement in comfort. Rod

I'm 6.2 and 350 (all muscle..LOL...not) and I think the seat is very comfortable um down there. Even better with the heater on. I am hoping that moving the seat helps with your issue.
