Default I have a neon and my back is freakin' killing me

I have a 2001 neon and I am trying to find a resource to change the front bucket seats. Everywhere I look for aftermarket seats is usually listing racing type seats available. I don't need racing just something more comfortable...like leather buckets. But I have no idea if I can get something like that or if another dodge model that had leather seat options can be substituted.It's a good commuter but after about ten minutes I can feel it pinching in various spots. It gets brutal after about an hour.

Please help if you have any ideas/resources.

You could either take the covers off and put more padding in if thats the problem.I just recently had the same complaint on the same exact year car and I only drive mine like 1 hour a day.I noticed that the right side of the seat seamed to sit lower/lean then the left side due to maybe me leaning to the side shifting.I took the bolts off the right side and used 2 washers on the right rear side which fixed it and no more back pains.

2G seats are better and bolt right in. Also, plant your back when "having fun." Remember those days, but my 01 r/t seats are much better, even in my accident [:@]

Dunno if you'll be able to find these, or if they will even work without modification... but my buddy bought a '05 Jetta GLI, and OH MY GOD... those Ricarro (think I spelt it wrong) seats are so unbelievably comfortable. Just food for thought, but they'd be expensive to get your hands on if you could find them.
