[QUOTE="nate714, post: 15392561, member: 171958"] This may seem like a dumb question, and my thoughts may even answer it, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what specifically makes the passenger seat so much of a rougher ride than the driver seat? When I'm in the driver seat of my car it is pretty tolerable on patchy bad roads, but if I let my girlfriend drive on the same roads with me in the passenger seat (yeah I trust her, and I share my ride) suddenly the passenger seat feels like a wooden rollercoaster with all the bumps rattling me around. She's made similar comments on the comfort difference between the two seats. Not complaining just pondering this revelation lol. Is it the lower positioning of the passenger seat? Is it the lack of bracing against the steering wheel? Is it all in our heads? Does the driver seat absorb more impact forces from the road? I know it's not the most technical question and it's a minor concern because racecar and screw passenger seats right? I'm just curious if anyone has similar experiences or insight. Suspension Mods in sig, car is lowered but nothing aggressive like coilovers. Also its a base GT cloth seats, not recaro's. [/QUOTE]
