Quite some time ago, we dug out some of the seat cushion foam to allow more headroom for our taller drivers. It's been a while since I drove the Miata, but I had the chance last night. I think we need to add some foam back in.
The center of the cushion is now dished out, which means that most of the support is now on the sides of the seat. Yes, that's right, the Miata's driver seat now feels like a toilet. I'm thinking if we plop in some lower-density foam to push out the center, it'd be a big relief. I think it just needs to be a little more flush with the rest of the cushion.

@shaddai: I have never guffawed before. Maybe I should practice: Guffaw? Guffaw. Guffaw! Gufffaw!! OK, I think I've got it.

Why don't you just take the plunge and go with a clean sheet redo--get new sport seats to go with the wheel.

I vote for new seats too...
Seems silly to put so much effort into crappy seats.

new seats! i agree! usually my requirements for new bucket seats is that the back must be able to recline but i guess with this small of a car theres no point.

I'm also in the "new seats seem easier than attempting to repair old seats" camp.
