Lumbar support not high enough, options?

Hi guys. Has anyone ever try to adjust the lumbar support vertically? I know it only adjusts horizontally but I guess that it could be possibly to disassemble the back of the seat and move it up or down? At 6.2ft the stock height gives me a back pain in 10 minutes of driving. I was also contemplatingoon getting a new foam on the back of the seat so that it molds better to the shape of my body.

I don't think it adjusts at all -it just inflates and deflates.

You will have to play with aftermarket options... no choice on this one. One seat size does not fit all.

Yes, that's what I mean by horizontal adjustment

I have carbon recaro ABE seats, and it came with a lumbar support that attaches via Velcro under the cushion that you can move up and down. Aftermarket may be your best option. It’ll also give you more headroom.

There are no solutions from the factory. PM me if you want to know how to fix your back. I've spent a lot of money and time on this.

Check for an automotive upholstery shop. They do recovers, add
heated seat elements and modify seats for handicapped use.

Yea, that is probably one of the options I will be looking at if I can't find any other solution.

I belive that I did find the 4 way adjustable lumbar support made by the company that makes the Oem solution. This might the one used in the LS. Part # N316-0683 by Schukra. Would need to get dimensions and see how that fits inside the ISF seat. Not sure if anyone tried this option?

Thank you.
