Seat conversion...
Has anyone put the later 94-96 seats in their 90-93 car? If so how did you handle the electical hookups and controls?

Re: Seat conversion...
A few of us have done so... GoldCylon and I have 96 collector's edition seats, the fore/aft controls work just like stock but there's no ability to control the bolsters or lumbar support. I've toyed with the idea of trying to retrofit the 94-96 bolster controls, but it's very low on my list of things to do.

Re: Seat conversion...
I have the 94+ base seats in mine. They are pretty comfy but not as supportive as the early sport models.
I took them out and weighed them a long time ago but I forget what I came up with. I just remember they were quite shockingly light - I recall thinking that I wasn't going to save any weight by going aftermarket.

Re: Seat conversion...
You could take the 94-96 sport seat controls and harnesses and swap that in the car as well. unless you are just doing the 94-96 base, then there is no real issue on the electrical side

Re: Seat conversion...
You guys who done the swap know the weight difference between early and later seats :-)

Re: Seat conversion...
Pete, the later seats are lighter, I think the lack of a plastic backing tray has a lot to do with it.
