Crazy but necessary question

Fellas, my spine is getting worse not better. I love the Alacantra sport buckets but they may be beyond my tolerance. The dealer offered to switch them no problem. So my question to the board is, should I take it as is and if the seats hurt sell them myself? Do you think that would yield enough to get the other seats? Thanks I know it's off topic, I was just thinking a lot of guys with good backs might like those seats.

you can probably get a decent price just selling the seats

This is what I needed to know, S&B, if I can't take them I'll let you know, my intention of course is to keep them.

I think S&B just wants the Alcantara cushion covers...

I sat in a GT3 with same and thought they were fine, of course that was a few years ago. If you found the car of your dreams and it had them would you not try em first jcb? And if you are insinuating that I fart when I drive it's a bald faced lie sir.

Depending on what about the seat it is that bothers you, you could always just add some extra cushioning on the bottom. My GF never drives her car without a gel cushion over the regular seat.

I believe you would be able to easily trade them for some very nice subtle leather factory seats if you chose to do so after giving them a try.
