Evo8 seats and kidney pain?????

Ok every now and again , i get a pain in my right kidney, right where the side bolster is,,, It dosnt happen all the time, but when it does it kinda hurts?
Anyone else have this kind of problem?

I would hate the thought of having to get different seats?

im 6-2 and 270,,,,, I just lost 25 lbs, and thought these seats were much much better, until today... ouch kidney pain.

ps. I dont think it is a stone or anything,,, it comes and goes, but only really feel it sometimes when Im sitting in the car.

Not a problem so far; I actually think they're quite comfortable . Um, have you gone to the doctor??? This is probably related to something else.

I swapped out the suspension in my Lancer and the harsh ride made my kidneys bleed occasionally from the shock. I guess they're used to it now.

I had the same problem, the pain was present for about two days every time I drove the car. It is now gone. I think is most probable muscle related. I also am having some increase in lower back pain.

Not sure. The ride can be stiff going over bad roads. We get platy of that here.

I think it will go away with time.

I'm a pretty small dude so I dont have that problem, plus I only have one kidney. So that works in my favor.

Could be a muscle strain too. I had the same problem a few weeks back. My left kidney would hurt. I thought it was a stone or something but it ended up being a strained lumbar muscle.

Try adjusting your seat or maybe loosing some weight? No problem here. 6ft 195lbs...


Or get the right one removed, that is why you have 2 Plus you can make some good money for mods.

every time I lose 25 - 30 lbs I find that pretty much any seat hurts my *** for the next few weeks.... less padding..... all of the nerves etc are accustomed to more padding
