Yes.

Your car got side airbags? If yes I don’t recommend changing seats. As that may screw up the safety setup.

Yes

But i still remember my first car, I feel pain at the back due to i already used to drive my father car

But that weird feel and the pain goes away after few weeks

I guess it because the sponge still hard

depend on your budget.. if u not so extreme budget. go for those halfcut bmw or volvo seat.. choose which 1 u want.. and then get some one to do the base to fit your car. Some seat come with electric function, u must do some external power wiring for the seat.

if your budget is middle.. not too high, u can always find for used recaro.. they have good support for legs and lumbar, and they're used in most aviation and automotive industry.

if you have high budget.. then just custom order 1 recaro from europe and ship it to here. u can choose which model u want and which function u want...
