I wish somebody starts importing these MBS seats to the US. It uses the base frame of the LC200 seats and adds thigh and a bit of side support. Awesome!
What are you using for thigh support? (1 Viewer)

try to use minimal arch support. It will give you a tad bit more length.
Wanted to update this thread for anybody else who may find it useful. I installed the $30 seat jackers from Amazon my 2011 LX and I would say that for me, it was the best $30 I've spent on it and I wish I had done it years ago. For reference, I'm 5'11" and pretty lean.

Thank you. Would you able to share pic and or link please?
Easy install with removing the front seat bolts and loosening the rear to be able to get the new front bolts in. Hope it helps.
I'd be interested in a picture as well, if you don't mind. Just to get an idea of the fit and finish.
I had put mine on the back of the seat to alleviate weight under my thighs. Went to try to switch them to the front and couldn’t get them in. Probably slightly bent the track. Oh well.
A bit confused about these spacers under the seat tracks and how that would help with thigh support. Seems for "regular" length people the electric tilt feature on the seat provides all (or at least most) angles you want/need.
What I am interested in is thigh support i.e. an extension to the horizontal seat length while having flexibility for both my wife and I to be comfortable.
Many BMW seats (and probably other manufacturersas well) and MBS who modifies the factory seat have such an extendable feature.
Short of getting the MBS solution or fitting the LX driver seat or say an LS500 one or fit a BMW seat there is this type of limited solution which:
- For my taste does not look great
- Nor provides flexibility between my wife and I
Still hoping some after market company interested in the LC200/LX570 market gets MBS parts to the US. I think I would manage self install with decent instructions.

Exactly this. The length of the seat bottom is terribly short and also cushion support is bare. Anyone try to fit a LS seat in?
I think the issue with switching seats is the airbags.
Looks like the LS 500 seats would have it all and may integrate with the 200 series (or not...)
Per the review comments - Utilizing the advancements of today’s technology, the new LS 500 not only pampers passengers with multifunction massage seats that are among the best and most effective I have experienced in a vehicle, Lexus adapts many integrations of an automated control system with a Concierge feature that automatically controls the seat temperatures and the automatic 4-zone climate control system.

“Lexus Concierge” is no different that setting auto on HVAC and Seat heaters/vents.
Yep, that could potential work out with the LC200 and auto heating/vent feature (believe standard on 16+ models). No idea whether airbags would integrate. Massage feature be an add. The whole integration is obviously the challenge. Out of curiosity did have a look on ebay at complete LS500 seats, not much for sale there. I guess not enough wrecked LS500's or otherwise of the market.

I installed the Desert Does It seat jackers about 8 months ago and I think they're definitely an improvement. However, my longest drive so far has only been about 4-5 hours. Hopefully, I'll be about to do a 5,000 mile road trip soon to further confirm this.

Per my post above they do not really resolve proper thigh support. In fact the angle can be electrically adjusted perfectly fine, it is just the seat length which is for short Japanese dudes and girls so it seems.Hey guys, it sounds like our Front Seat Jackers are what you're looking for.
