No doubt C5 seats are NOT comfortable, displeasing at best

I knew it, somebody has been to my site! I knew if I talked to myself long enuff somebody would accidently stumble upon my lonely page!

Later generation C4 vette seats are very comfortable. I have had a C5 and a C4 and lots of C3's. These are right up there with the best Ive put my butt in.

nosaint, FYI...

I go to your site probably 3 or 4 times a day! I learned most of what I know about my car from you!!!!!!

As for the seats, go for the SPARCO racing seats. Performance race seats and very comfortable too.

I have a C5....and I do have the sport seat option(the nice ones)....and all i can say is....uhhh....well, they're REALLY comfortable if you ask me. I have taken the car on several 3 hr drives....no complaints here...as for mounting them in a thirdgen...it may not be all that dificult, but it could be a real pain in the @$$. If you're gonna do C5 power sport seats, you're gonna want to put the power part of it in too...thats the only way to control the bolsters....same as the 4th gen power seats...

I'd love to post some, however I do not have a webpage that they are up on yet. I could always email them to you though. Let me know.

I just finished putting my C4 seats in today and I love them. I got the idea from nosaint's website as well. They still need some slight spacer adjustments but they went in with few problems. I was even able to keep my Alpine amps underneath the seats as well.
