Chuck,
Does the foam you took out from the bottom of the seat back affect lower back support? One feature I love in the 2002 EX is the lumbar support. I'd be afraid to modify the seat if it would affect a good counterpressure on my lower back when I drive.
I happen to like sitting straight up, with my back straight, so my left knee is bent with my foot on the floor. There's just enough room for that, and I think the risers you installed would make it hard for me to sit that way, right?. My husband finds that position awkward at the wheel. He likes to be more stretched out, which is, I guess, why his leg extends.
