Default bad back

Hi all,

Through an injury my back is now sore most of the time. The lumbar support in my GS300 is okay, but I require more. Is there a relatively easy way to increase the lumbar support movement in the seat back? I can buy one of those aftermarket supports but I like my car clean and without extra "stuff." Is there a way to add an inch or two in the lumbar support travel?

Any ideas would be appreciated. Chiropractic care helps, but my car and my desk chair are most of my existence.

Thanks.

I'm going to guess but I think you are not going to get anymore support then have gotten from a stock GS seat. Recaro maybe or some aftermarket seat

Im just guessing

Great idea.
