In my 01, I had an upholstery shop build the left side back up and add lumbar support to the back. That made a night and day difference. $100 well spent!

Check out Katskinz seats...I was looking for them here locally, tried contacting them online and still now answr...you may have better luck in your area. I've heard that they are nice and comfy but w/a 900mi commute don't get to comfy and fall asleep.

OK OK, I can't find the link, but you can rebuild yours with 2" foam and some carpet samples. If you are interested I will try to write the instructions from memory. I did it to mine and it worked great.

Swap the seat bottoms from side to side. Leave the passenger side out if you don't need it and leave it at shop to redo it for you. This way there is no down time. When its ready swap out and leave the other one. When I swapped out mine I couldn't belive the difference in the seat feel. I was about an inch taller sitting in the seat.
