 If it is of the folding variety you can block up the back so that it doesn=
't go so far back.=C2=A0 If it a non-folding seat, good luck.=C2=A0 Those a=
re welded up in that position and you would have to cut the welds and rewel=
d it in the desired position.=C2=A0 It might be a better/easier fix to have=
 an upholsterer change the padding adding more up top provide more support =
up top and less below.
Or fit Miata seats.=C2=A0 ;-)
