Anyone ever switched driver and passenger seats? Or repadded the driver's seat?
Backstory: Nobody else ever rides in my car...passenger seat is used maybe 4-5 times a month, back seats never, only the drivers seat gets use every day from my lovely backside.
The other night a buddy drove me home after having a few too many drinks, and I thought I was in the wrong car at first. The passenger seat is so plush and firm...it really felt like a different car. When we got home, for the hell of it I went back over and sat in my driver's seat and the difference is remarkable. While the seat is in great condition, I guess that 7-8 years of use will wear down anything and the difference is like night and day.
Considering that, I have been thinking about switching the drivers side and passenger side chairs just for my own comfort. Has anyone done that?
Has anyone ever repadded the driver's seat? If so, how hard was it and what was involved?
Thanks!

micheal,if u flip the seats your seatbelt and controls will be on the wrong side unless u take them all the way apart and swap the bases...but i would think it would be easier to repad it. contact a upholstery shop and ask them what they will charge just to get a idea
how funny, the FIRST time ANY of my buddies drove my car was also a night i had to much to drink and i asked him to drive me home.i was to drunk to notice any seat differences though. BTW safe designated driving
still loving the new suspension changes?
