I'm fat and 50 and just tried the seat mod today. A difference for sure complimented by my new Maddad cb that was put on yesterday.

Just did this mod myself but I took out the entire assembly that snapped into both sides just to be safe. It makes a nice difference especially with my new 275/35 tires on a turn!

thanks for the mod!!!

Just out of curiosity, did you have to roll your fenders to get 275's on there?

Nope! But I do have SSR Type F's 18x9 +50 offset, stock suspension but soon to have coilovers! I have a thread on here about it and I will post some pics sometime this week. tirerack has a special on the Sumitomo HTRZ II for $129 + shipping in 275/35/18, dont mean to threadjack sorry!

A few friends at the subaru meet i go to have done it in there 06/07's and love it..The tensioners look different, but are the same thing..

Best Mod Ever. It really makes a huge difference and now that crappy lumbar support that I always hated is gone. Double bonus - thanks!

Any one do anything about the broken bottom hook? I heard a nice pop yesterday, sure enough, it was the bottom hook that is now just dangling there

Not to thread jack, but CG Lock helps tremendously.

I'm doing this mod the day I pick up my STI. Anyone wanna buy a Miata?
