I’ll attest to less leg pain on long trips and better view. [emoji106]After selling 800 pair the first year the majority stated relief from lower back pain. A few had improved views over the hood. Some use them to gain audio amp space under the seats.
Do they recline the seat any? I hate the "flat" feeling the seats have.After selling 800 pair the first year the majority stated relief from lower back pain. A few had improved views over the hood. Some use them to gain audio amp space under the seats.
Not these. What these do is raise the rear of the seat to make the bottoms level. The seats have a factory lean, i.e. sports car effect, that causes lower back fatigue in a lot of drivers. These make you feel like you are sitting up instead of leaning back. Some refer to the factory seats as sitting in a bucket. There is one person that makes spacers for the front of the seats. That is what some drivers want. They are double the price of mine but he is the only person making a safe option to do that. Every "body" is different. What bothers some is not an issue to others. I would not recommend these if you are fairly comfortable in your seats. What I do recommend to the curious is to do a free, or cheap, test without buying spacers. Note this is a DO NOT DRIVE test. Simply gather a couple of 1" items, wood or washer stacks 1" tall. Remove the bolts in the brackets on the floor behind the front seat. Push forward on the headrest to lift the rear brackets and slide in the blocks. Now simply sit in the seat. You should know immediately if this is a change you want. Either way remove the blocks, put the bolts back in, and torque them down to 30-34 foot pounds. This is a quick and simple way to see what these do.Do they recline the seat any?

Good info! Thanks for the reply. My wife has an Altima SV with power seats. Hers allow me to raise the front of the seat to support my legs. I was hoping these would do the sameNot these.
