Aftermarket seat Question?

Hey everyone im new to the fit family but one thing i cant stand in my 2010 fit is the damn seats on long drives. So I am looking to get aftermarket seats like bride, recaro, buddyclub. I just dont know where to look for best prices and the big thing is for the brackets, where to get them? I dont trust ebay. If someone can let me know where to look it would be much appreciated. Thanks..

The seats you are considering are great for spirited driving but may prove to not allow repositioning of your body if discomfort on a long drive requires you to do so.

The thing that discomforts me is the hump in the lumbar feels like i have a knee in my lower back on long drives. Anything right now would be better.

I have major back problems and was considering the trick looking performance seats also but found the too confining... I settled with long wool sheepskin seat covers... They are fuzzy as all get out and look like major overkill inside of a small car like the Fit but they work for me... I got them on ebay from a company in New Zealand for $224 shipped.... I know I'm likely to ribbed by youngsters since I already heard about how 1980s they were before I placed my order but they have no idea what they are missing out on in the way of blissful comfort.

The longest I have gone in mine is about 600km, but zero discomfort in that sort of short distance. Though I fit like a hand in a fine glove in the seat.

Not sure who would be a good retailer for you stateside, just be aware the $uck is just that sucking it up against the ¥, so look to pay out your nose.

I need to walk around stretch and loosen up after a hundred miles in the stock seats and about 250 in my wife's Forester with the seat covers so I am pretty sure 200 won't be a problem with them in mine but I have yet to travel any long distances with them installed.
