    can someone recommend a good aftermarket seat?

    Love my '98 Maxima SE except for 1 thing: I don't like the seats.
    They're too flat - not enough thigh and lateral back support. I have
    the 8-way power adjustable, cloth covered seat. Can someone recommend
    a good replacement - one that requires a minimum of
    drilling/fabricating/welding to get 'em in. Web links, prices, model
    info appreciated. Thanks

    I felt the same way until I got it adjusted to my exact liking: seat bottom
    all the way down, but tilted front-up/back-down to keep my knees supported,
    and lumbar pushed all the way forward to support my lower back. Now it's
    really, really comfortable.

    Never buy a seat unless you can sit in it or return it if you don't like
    the way it feels. I find most aftermarket seats to be VERY uncomfortable
    and most are a pain to get them installed correctly. Have you sat in the
    other models of maximas of that gen to see if any of the other factory
    seats feel good?

    Strange unless they changed something. I am over 6 feet tall and usually
    have trouble finding seats with good back support for a tall person, but
    the seats in my 95 SE are very comfortable. I adjust the rear of the seat
    bottom down (for autocrossing helmet clearance) and front of seat bottom
    up for thigh support. At one point something broke in the recliner (would
    not stay up), but fortunately the dealer found a used replacement for
    fraction of $1100 new cost.

    I recently bought a used 2001 Pathfinder SE and its cloth seats are also
    very comfortable for me. Its 8-way adjustments are manual instead of
    electric (front and rear of seat bottom can be adjusted with knobs).

    The seats have been reasonably comfortable for my 6'2" frame.. but I
    wish the wheel was telescoping because I find I am too far back due to
    the pedals. (5th gen)

    I do wish there was more lateral support.. the car handles turns well
    enough, except I roll out of my seat on anything more than granny
    driving. Maybe someone will invent a pad or frame that can be
    installed around the bottom of the seat to hold your butt better...

    In any case I'll bet the problem is worse with slippery leather seats.
    Go easy on the Armor-All !
