This might be whacked, well, definitely whacked, but it works for me.

 

I installed gr-2 struts all around and found the ride to be pretty stiff for my liking. It didn't help that the pillsbury doughboy owned the car before me. Or that the seats in this '95 were not good to begin with.

 

Needless to say, seat support wires were stretched and the cusioning all but gone. Riding in the car made me feel like I had just gone 10 rounds with Rocky. I seriously think I was getting very minor concussions riding in the car.

 

What'd I use? An air envelope (used for package shipping), two plastic liquor bottles and the yellow pages. You can probably picture the monster I created. Taped the two liquor bottles together, and taped the air envelope on top of that. Then shoved them under the seat, positioned where my rump roast lands. And finally pushed in the yellow pages to create the proper height.

 

I was worried the air envelop would pop, especially in the cold we get in VT (I know, vt winters aren't nothing to you eskimoes), but it stayed intact, even bouncing up and down on it (now I know how girls feel).

 

In short, the headaches have ceased. My woman won't ride in my car because she get the same headache I got. She wants me to build her one too. Wish i had a camera so you guys could see the freak I created. I'm sure the mental pictures are wild enough.

yeah....I'd love to see a picture...haha..

 

BTW, you think the GR2's are a stiff ride.....you haven't seen anything. Mine can get pretty bad on the roads in Houston, but it handles unbelievably

I've used 1/8 inch nylon rope weaved back and forth under the seat pan to support a worn out, non-subie, seat.

LMAO! Very creative! Just watch out for the "open container" laws!

 

Oh, when that envelope does pop, it's gonna scare the bejeepers out of you... between the noise and then dropping down 3 or 4"... what a ride!

A magnificent klug.

 

And it proves you get a return on your investment by drinking booze that comes in plastic bottles.

Bravo! If you used plenty of duct-tape it could be a project on the Red Green show.

 

P.s. for your wife's seat does she have to drink the two bottles of bankers club her self? its only fair... Cheers...
