A friend has a 2002 Eddie Bauer that she likes, except for the front seats. They worsen her back problems. Adding a back rest and seat pad have not helped. She is at the point of either replacing the seats, or replacing the car.
There are other posts in this newsgroup on the same subject, but I saw no good solutions.
Are there aftermarket seats that would probably work well, or can her seats be exchanged with those of other years/models? She is tall, if that matters.
Big Shoe;
I had forgotten about Recaro. Actually the Recaro website doesn't describe the seats nearly as well as some vendor sites.
You are right, they are not cheap -- about $1200 - $1500 each for the least expensive seat that "looks right," plus installation...
Still, might be worth it. Thanks.

Hi Jonah;
The Recaro idea was shot down tonight because of the expense. Anyway, I'm not sure what to think of a company that actually sells a seat called the "Furious!" (

Ross;
Good suggestions.
So far I've found the name of a good local upholstery shop, and learned from a guy in the parts dept of a local Ford dealer than seats from any year with the same body style would probably fit without modification. I will call some junkyards next week, see what's available.
I'll look for that airbag sensor if I replace the seats, thanks.
