I have such a short back that lumbar support isn't a big issue, but I'll
agree that the leather Corrado seats are the bomb. Don't get me into
lusting on Christmas. Mmmmm, leather....But for a Mk I, the S seats have
good bolsters, and that's what I have, I plan to get them recovered. Also
be advised that the seatbelt anchors will probably need to be swapped over
on the seat. (no biggie though) Cathy
