Default Popping in Seat, took to the dealer, said it happens in all Rs

They say it was something in the lumbar support, but they checked out another Type-R and the same thing was occuring.

Basically, it's a faint-moderate popping sound and feeling when driving. it's kind of annoying and can be really bad at times.

How many out there have experienced this on their Type-Rs? Just curious.

I have heard that from a previous post and it was a result in the seat being BENT.

Its a relatively common problem with ITR's. There was a thread a while ago about it, but since it happens in so many cars, I'm not even sure that replacing the seat would solve the problem indefinately. I've just learned to ignore mine.

I have not noticed this on my stock ITR seats. Maybe Canadian ITR seats are of better quality

So what would be the best method of having the seat fixed or replaced?

Well, guess I should have kind of expected this from the R. Guess I shouldn't expect much from an Acura

I didn't have a popping but a squeak. They replaced the sliders and rails under warranty. No more squeak, happy me.

If it pops under warranty do they give you a new seat?

X- who's thinking of making his seat pop to get a new one

My Recaros used to pop, usually when taking corners

Now they dont, so I guess it fixed itself

Yes, my lumbar support squeaks... I'm going to wait until I buy a race seat, then go get it fixed so I can sell it without the squeaks.
