Ooh great idea. I have been toying with pulling my seat apart, too. Need more lumbar. I have a little butt.
I added extra lumbar on my old Rabbit Convertible, it was soooooo awesome.

I would love to know if Lexus IS F-sport seats would fit without much modification and without raising the seating position a ton...

DIY - Make your seats comfortable
I did this but installed this corbeau inflatable suport. It worked brilliantly!
Tweaking the shoulder supports makes a big difference too. https://www.google.com/shopping/prod...:1,prmr:3,cs:1 Last edited by Yoshoobaroo; 11-08-2019 at 07:59 PM. |

Just out of curiosity, how did you go about attaching the lumbar 'bladder' to the inside of the seat? Do you have any photos of the process? I'm currently using the STI lumbar pillow, but i would really like something more adjustable and permanent. Plus I have long legs and I don't like how far the pillow scoots me forward in the seat. Thanks! |

Here's what I did:
I took the back of the seat apart, like the original post, then I used two pressure bags. These are used in hospitals, to pressurize IV fluids for faster administration. I got them on Ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-pack-of-5...kAAOSwBahVMTzW There is a pressure indicator which I removed. A little cutting and reattaching. zipties around the connections to make them airtight. Where Mausr placed a lumbar pillow, I put them in the same place, running horizontally, one above the other. Took picture but can't get it the right size for upload. sorry. The stopcock and pump bulb tuck away nicely behind the seat and don't get in the way. You can adjust each bladder individually to your preference. I can adjust it very easily, and it's very comfortable. |

That's awesome, thank you! Is the pressure of the cushion enough to hold them in place, or did you have to affix them somehow to prevent them from moving around? thanks again! |

after you inflate them, they just stay by themselves.

I always have sitting issue and feel uncomfortable. On the advice of the dealer, I changed its foam and used ortho-friendly one. Anyways, thanks for this guide.

https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...0&postcount=14 I made the plastic backer panel out of an old storage bin lid, drilled some holes in it and secured it to the metal wire seat structure with zip ties. |
