Drivers Seat Too Soft

GSSPORT · June 7, 2008

Hi All,

My beloved GS300 MK2 has covered over 140k miles and I am finding that the drivers seat has become alot softer than the passenger. So I have the idea of changing the seat (the bottom bit) over from the passenger to the drivers (and vice a versa).

Has anyone tried this or can this be done?

Or can I buy a seat from lexus...would it be expensive?

or can some other type of company can do this?

Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks

But your leccy seat buttons would be on the wrong side and maybe difficult to reach?

Buy a new one from Lexus? haha..get a quote, but not likely to be cheap.

Why not find a GS with lower miles that is at a salvage yard and get the seat from there.

HTH.

Hi,

I was looking to change the lower part of the seat and not the whole seat, as for the reasons you have specified.

Are there any companies that specialise in refurbushing the seat, as I think it only needs new foam etc?

someone can confirm that the gs300 has sprung seats... hope so, just assumed.

<sigh> just not convinced that the seats with much less mileage are more comfy or even the same as a Soarer yet.. and they were the bog standard seats - the old Lexus mantra "you arrive as refreshed as when you left".

Hello,

Does not your Mark 2 GS 300 have side air bags in the right hand side of the driver's seat and the left hand side of the passenger seat? I'd be very careful about swapping them over.
