95 Seats in a 90? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Racinfan83 · 09-23-2013

I must apologize cuz I know there are other threads on this topic. However my phone is not allowing me to search the forum for some reason.
Anyway - my 90 has the seats with the switches n the side bolsters. Hate em. Was at Marc's today and saw a 95 with different seats that looked WAY more comfy, without the switches. Marc said it was common to switch the ones like I have out for the more comfy ones. What are these called and does anybody know where I can find some in black? Will c5 or ç6 seats bolt in?

c5 or c6....why would you want to put sub-standard hardwear in your car

95 Sport Seats are comfy. I have them in my 95 and love them. They also sit up pretty much level with the door sill. Easier in/out.

95-96 sport seats from any C4 will be the same, seat switches are on the center console also a small change in them from 95 to 96 not sure what changes would need to be done to the wiring or if they are plug & play.

uuhhhh Kev have you sat in the 2013 centenial seats???

I wouldn't call them inferior at all. but they are still pretty pricey

saw a set at carlilse going for 2k !!

the 95 seats are VERY nice and are much more comfortable for long trips.

I'm a little broad in the beam and the 90-93 seats also pinch my out thighs a bit and in back of the knees. I tried all the adjustments, and no matter what afte about 4-5 hours of driving, I needed to take a break

no so in the 95. I do 10-12 hours and feel just fine. I sure like the LOOK of the early seat better. also much easier to get in and out of the car.

if anyone is interested in a set of 95 seats (hint hint) let me know.

I'm interested in upgrding to the Corbeau red black seats

I'll make you a good deal on mine let me know.

So - 95 or 96 sport seats.... Will they connect to the 90 wiring harness? Bolt right in? And am I gonna have to search salvage yards or does someone have reman ones? I just dropped some $ on the car - so will be a while before I can buy seats anyway. Thinkin winter project....

Maybe it's just the way I'm built but I love the 90 seats. I've done a few 10 hr stints and they are fine for me. Love the look too.

You can have your 90's seats modified!

-=Jeff=- · 09-24-2013

To go to the 95 sports eats in the 90, the sport seat wiring portion changes other wise they are a bolt it.

there is a nice write up on CF for this, I actually modified the controls to blend in a bit better...
