Default new civic owner

got a 1998 honda civic with 45,000 miles on it and I am stoked. Not into mods but sure like the gas mileage. I do have 1 question as I am not finding the seats very comfortable for this 53 year old a$$. Would anyone know of some more comfortable seats that would basically be a plug and play like prelude seats or whatever. Not lookin to spends lots of $$$$ but would sure like something a little more supportive...Looks like a great forum and thanks in advance for any responses I might get

This lady down here bought it when she was 75 years old,,,5 speed and all, she died at 85 so her family flew into town to sell off her estate. She only put on 9000 miles in the last 5 years of her life. It had all the documents in the glove box from the new car papers to service papers and oil changes. It was all documented by the oil changes and everything. Was in a garage all its life and the paint looked brand new. I don't think the engine ever saw 60 mph in its life as I had ro run it hard to get it above 70 or so then it just sorta freed up and runs like a bat outa hell. I got it for 5500 smackers and could not be more pleased. Am gettin between 38 and 41 miles per gallon with mixed driving but i do short shift it and don't run it to hard. Nothing fancy including hand crank windows and no A/C but in colorado it aint no biggie. Fun little car to run around in. its the DX coupe and is very clean. Just got lucky I guess...

Any input into what seats would fit in there without redrilling etc that are comfortable would surely be appreciated.
