Big Boy Seat Options 1991

[BigIke]

Guys, I love my seats, with only Juan exception, the lumbar controls. I'm a big boy, my thigh sets on that uncomfortable control pad whilist going through my theropy sessions.

Is there a modifiation to removed the controls and but a different lower seat cover?

Or should i just go with sports seats of this vintage without the lumbar.

OR some of the uglier... 94-96 seats? I think those were the years.

Thanks!

Big Ike, you might not like the 94-96 seats but they are by far the most comfortable. My 90 seats cut into my thighs as well and I may upgrade to newer seats in the future. Driving my 96 GS is way more comfortable that driving my Z.

my 2 cents.

I use the thigh bolsters as a measure of when I should lose weight. Sort of like a comfortable suit.

I have seen C5 seats in C4s also

HAHA! Yeah i was thinking maybe its time to cut... I might be able to take the seats to an upolsterer and get the lumber controls removed and cover that area, that is the only part the hurts, the rest of the seat is just plain awesome.

Can 94-96 seat be made to work with my seat controls? just the movement parts.

Yes but you will lose the bolster controls. But the rest of the seat will move the same.

Tony, you forgot to mention the 90 seats have controls on both sides of the seat bottom. So it is not like you can move your butt over to get away from the controller.

[XfireZ51]

They should have put bolster controls for the seat rather than the seat back.

Love my 95 Sport Seats

I like the design of the 94 base.. I have 94 sport.. I want the base style with the sport lower side bolsters.

That would be my perfect design

Love my 95 Sport Seats

Ditto!

I've got a 90, and the sport seats were brutal on my thighs. In contrast, the standard 95 I had prior to buying the Z were the best seats I'd ever ridden on: cross-country trips were never a problem with them.

I replaced mine with a pair of 95 base seats: love 'em, and never looked back!

Oh, I sacrifice the lumbar pump and the bolster control of the 90 sport seats. However, the lumbar support of the standard seat is fixed, and apparently just right. (It's MY bladder that is the limiting factor now.:o)

I changed mine out to the 95 sport seats and I love them. They bolt right on to the bases and you will have all the movement through the original control unit - as it moves the seat base. To get the lumbar bladders to work you will need a 94-96 control panel and the 94-96 seat wiring harness, and a 94-96 lumbar pump if the passenger seat doesn't have one mounted to it already. I have all the stuff to do mine - just haven't had time to install it yet. One of these days....:o

Love my 96 CE seat. Dont forget the 96 seats fit as well in your search :cheers:

[Paul Workman]

Ah! Forgot to mention: First thing we did to Ami's "Turq" was to replace the sport seats with a pair of standard seats; same color. It rides SOOOO nice now - BOTH ZR-1s!:thumbsup:

Post up what you are looking for in the WTB section of corvette forum. Ebay and Craigslist can be lucky sometimes as well

I found mine on EBay. From fparts. They were 60k mile seats the guy told me but they are in awesome condition. My car has 19k on it and you can't tell the seats are any different from the rest of it. I think I paid in the $700 range for mine, and have another couple hundred in the parts to make the lumbar work...
