Didn't nosaint have vette seats? I would say go with the vette seats, more comfortable. I sat in corbeaus and did not find them that comfortable. Not to mention vette seats are more rare! Plus the vette seats are more classy for your classy Kandied car!

Just my opinion!

yes he does however i believe they are c4 which are a little narrow compared to the wide c5 seats....could just be an oversight though.

do you plan on having access to your back seat? i don't think c5 seats recline. i would get a pair of recaros. a friend of mine has a set of them in his vw, damn they are comfy.

Sorry to say, but this it true. I have checked into the C4 and C5 seats, but I have a couple of kids who like to ride in the back every once and a while. If you don't use your rear seat at all and dont mind the angle the seat back is in, go for it. They are nice seats. Just my .02 cents. Thomas

you know i thought the same thing some years back when purchasing my 4thgen seats.

i don't have kids and the seat does move forward and the back pivots enough to get someone back there if it were a must. a pain, but it would work.

however the reclining issue is definately a concern and a good point to make.....definately rules out some other late night activities.


just throwing the ideas out so i'm glad you guys can make some constructive thoughts about the idea.

Nosaint's were C4 seats. If you get the full power sport seats, they power recline back. If you look at the seat and both sides of each seat have controls, they have both power lumbar and recline. AT least they do on a 89 Vette

I like those seats but the only problem is that they are so exspensive!
