Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for chiming in with that!

So, what... your helpful solution is that we should all just be you, dsgerbc? Stated right there in the opening post: if you're comfortable with the new style seats, I'm happy, but this thread isn't for you.
As for Brides or Recaros not being as safe as stock seats, you're absolutely correct about that. If you'd read the entire post, you'd see that's why I've been trying my hardest to find a solution to
fixing the stock seats, rather than going aftermarket. But something has to change, because that theoretical safety is doing me no good when I can't drive the car for more than 10 minutes without getting distracted by neck pain (and driver distraction is far and away the number one biggest cause of accidents).
Personally, I feel the risk of side-impact is lower where I live than rear-ending, so if I have to give up some safety design safety to be able to drive this car, I'd rather it be side airbags than a proper head restraint for my seating position. Next time, read before responding.
