I find the seats in my'02 S to be quite comfortable. When I purchased the car, I drove it back 1k miles from Texas in a day and a half with no fatigue. I'm not that much taller/heavier than you.

During the drive

have you fiddled with the height, angle, steering wheel setting to find one that is at least different if not more comfortable. I have an '01 and use different seat positions in town (closer and more upright...away from the roll bar) and on the road (further back and tilted). I'm about 6", been up to 230 and am long waisted so my legs are probably about your length. Happy to take it on 300 mile trips, no occasion yet to do longer ones. I generally stop every 2 hours or so (140-150 miles) just to stretch and potty break...I'm 65. Same trip in SUV or Acura...same approach.

I have never had a problem with my sport seats in my 00 S. My friend has an 00 S also but with the other seats and they suck in my opinion, I was uncomfortable as soon as I sat down.

If your seats are worn out how many miles are on your car? Have the shocks/springs been replaced?
Much of the road shock/vibration makes its way up your seat and back when the suspension is shot. you'll feel every seam in the road...

Turbo23dawg.....dont have pictures, but if you have ever sat in the sport seats, very tight on the sides (I am 6'0"- 175lbs) VERY tight on the sides. the "regular seats" are well...just kinda regular seats...
