There are not any kind of supports on the bottom part of the seat. I did weld side supports to the seat. It really made it feel more like a racing seat but the only problem was if you sat on the edge of the seat you had a bar up your ass

Of course! The everything is the same. The only difference I found between the cloth an leather seats was that the bottom cushion was a little stiffer and taller.

I pushed on the sides of the seats while they were still in the car but the inside side seems to always push more. I can never get it the same on both sides. When I look at the seats the inside pad seems to be bigger than the outside pad. Is this the same for your seats or where you able to get them both the same ??

This was me but I had the confusion that mine was slightly off on one side. My problem was when I had one arm on the wheel and one on the shifter my body was turned which made it feel like that. When you sat straight with arms on my lap it felt fine.

That and I personally don't think the seat is centered to the wheel and gauges.

I dont think the seat in my car is centered either. But it's still a cool mod for $0! Even if you feel it more on one side of your body than the other, you still feel it.
