The butt part of the seat on the drivers side is adjustable and the passengers is not.

Wait, the seat jack adjusts that flat part of the seat? I thought it moved the entire seat up and down

Edit: WTF how have I not noticed all this **** before? I'm learning all kinds of things about my seats today.

Congrats on the upgrade. Don't get bored with it as fast as I did though. Hell I'm already thinking my Cobra's slow... I need more money for more speed!

Break it in how you're going to drive it.

I'm actually considering trading mine in for a Cruze. Just break it in moderately. It's going to open up the same. Get yourself the GMS1 upgrade as well.

That's too long.

They have your ECU set up to break in correctly, so just drive it like you are going to.

Breaking in until oil change for a new car is just the safest way to go. Just in case there are any shavings or anything in the motor they will drain out. While being safe on the vehicle.

Bah. That's all just overkill. If there was really any truth to all this breakin crap, the 100K warranty wouldn't be possible.

Just a heads up, you can even adjust the lumbar support with the knob on the right underside of the seat ooo

I knew the seat moved up and down. My G5 had the same feature. However, I never thought about moving it up to help with lumbar support... unless I read the previous posts wrong, which I wouldn't doubt. It's nearing quitting time for me and my brain is already shutting down

Ya, these are the trickiest seats to get comfortable in I've ever had. I found I had to raise the seatpan higher than I normally would (it's all the way up) to get the natural lumbar of the seat in the correct location on my back or it was uncomfortable as ****. Once you have the natural lumbar in the right position, then start workin on the addiitonal setting if required via the knob on the driver's seat (front right under your legs). I guarantee as you move it up, you're going to have to move the seat closer to the pedals and it's going to feel weird for a bit...but now that I'm adjusted, no more back pain

Wish I would have known this sooner before going on the last 3-4 hour drives recently

Ya, with these seats you have to throw out everything you typically do with your seat and start from scratch. I found the "wrist test" on the wheel worked well to finally get me setup right. I also had a habit of wanting to rotate my foot from brake to gas instead of lifting it which isn't how the pedal setup in these cars is intended to be used. Once you get things setup the seats are comfortable and supportive for long trips, in the wrong spot (reaching too far, etc) your back is going to hate you
