Junkie - here is a thread to modify the left leg seat bolster.

Default Post Pics of Cushions that Worked please

A few who responded in this thread mentioned making a cushion that they just throw in the car and place in the seat that they found to be a solution.

Others just bought a cushion that worked.

Those who did either, or something similar, please post pics of what you made or purchased that worked.

Thanks

If your car has the 2LT or 3LT package, the seat bolsters are also adjustable with the rear switch.. Could yours be adjusted incorrectly?
Mine is fine for street driving (5-10, 205 lbs) when adjusted to be loose, ok for autocross if adjusted tight, very good if adjusted tight and the belt is locked.

Thank you to everyone who responded. Yes, this is a great incentive to lose weight! I’m 5’ 10” 265 lbs. former football player. My shoulders take a size 50 jacket. Time to join Weight Watchers! Won’t reduce the size of my shoulders though! Yes my 2 LT bolsters are all the way down.

GT seats in my C7. Meh. Nothing to write home about, but they aren't actively uncomfortable. 6'0, 170#.

I like your style in color choice sir! Did you convert to the comp seats, or bought it that way?
