The seats in my SX are rock solid and since I do a lot of driving it's really hurting my back. I'm probably going to get Sheepskin covers from the guy on Canterbury Road, Canterbury (Sydney).
But even thought the stock seats are hard, the side support is really good.

I'm worried I'll lose the great side support when I get the Sheepskins.

How has the side support been affected by installing Sheepskin Seat Covers?

My wife has an optioned up SX CW and reckons her sheepskins help a lot (don't seem to affect the lateral support)

Make sure they are airbag compliant though (weakened stitching where the airbag pops out)  :cool:

Surely at your age your stitching would be weakened?  :undecided:

Anyone visiting the Careers Expo tomorrow or Saturday at the Adelaide Showgrounds will be able to test drive my ejection seat with great quality thick black sheepskin cover. After this example, you'll definitely go for the sheepskin option. As for airbag compliance, I'll be laying a single sheet of skin across the front and just strap it back where it won't interfere with the bag. :cool:
