93 vs 94-95 sport seats, airbags etc.

[Norwegianmopar]

Already planning for our next ZR-1 which most likely will be a 405 HP car. Having heard many different views on which seats are the best, I would like to get your opinions on the matter.

We love the seats in our 91, but would like to get a car with dual airbags since we will drive it a lot. I guess that leaves us to choose between a 94 or 95, am I right?

Other pros and cons on the 93's vs the 94-95's are welcomed.

I like my custom 94 seats.. they look like base but are full function sport seats..

so to ask which seats are better is like asking someone their favorite, beer, wine, or movie

I have a 93. I like the seats in the 93 over the big b-- seats of 94-95. I am 6ft and slim. The 93 seats will hold a slim person in better,
Just me being honest. but I think the 94-95 have the cheep'st looking seat of any corvette.
Also the 94-95 have a ECM that you can reprogram with out having to replace the PROM' I think i got that right. That part I think would probably be better than the 93. Good luck with your search.

If you fit in the earlier (90, 91-92, 93) seats they are great. The 94-96 aren't quite as snug, but still good and fit larger body types better.

GM was constantly making improvements to the Corvette over the model run (changes don't only occur at start of model year), so just looking at model year for changes doesn't guarantee anything. The later years (95 & 96) got the most improvements across the entire Corvette lineup. ZR-1 specific changes weren't as big honestly, and I'd take any year 91-95 myself (updated body), which is why I have a 91.

There were tons of measures introduced in 94 to control NVH. Mostly unseen, like industrial Velcro behind panels etc. The interior of the 94-95 for sure seems quieter and a little more refined than the earlier cars.

NVH?

looked it up
Noise vibration and harshness

I like the 90-93seats. They let me know when I should stop eating.

Yes, noise/ vibration/ harshness.

I like the looks of the both the newer and older C4 seats. However, I do agree that the older seats hold the driver (and passenger) like a true race seat and I do think they are the best ever offered on a Corvette for holding a person in place.

I think the cheapest looking Corvette seats are reserved for the C6. The 2012/2013 redesign helped. I especially think cheap when looking at a black seat and seeing the vinyl sides.
