Seats are the first mod I have to do on a car. I'm 6ft5 and hardly fit in any sporty car even without a helmet. Before I buy a car I have to Test the seat and measure how much lower and further back it needs to be. Then I look for fitting seats. Seats are very underrated. I think seats change more about the driving than any other modification.

I had a set of Corbeau seats once, they were way more comfortable than stock. I had fitment issues with the brackets that Corbeau had for the vehicle and ultimately not only did the padding wear out after about 3 years, some of the welds broke in the seat frames. I replaced them with more comfortable stock seats which has become my preferred method for seat upgrades. I currently have a set of seats from a 98 Integra in my EK civic. They are comfortable and fitment was not an issue with a little bit of parts bucket mods with the seat rails.

I'm hoping you can answer a question for me. I purchased a used 2019 Ford Transit. I have scoliosis and the seats are extremely uncomfortable for me. The aftermarket seats are too expensive. I was wondering if I could pull Nissan Murano seats from a salvage yard for the van? They both have airbag tags on the seats. The question I have is will the air bag wiring harness in the Ford Transit fit any seat or only aftermarket seats? I did look into reupholstering the seats but he says he can not change the contour, only the covering. He suggested replacing them and provided a contact for a metal fabricator to help out.
