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....

I loved the ride of my 95 LT1 Vette, but hated the sport seats in the 90 Z. I found a pair of black standard 95s - had to forgo the special features to install the 95s, but I love 'em, AND they're lighter, if that is important. 94-95 sport seats feel to me to have the same ride comfort (sans those damn bolsters), but can't comment on the wiring.

I like the black/red contrast so much I added black floor mats and a black back deck mat.

Racinfan83 · 09-24-2013

Looks good! I'm not worried about weight, just comfort and not having to climb out of the thing like a Gopher out of a hole.....

You wont miss the bolster butt. Im running 96 Seats in mine

Also the C5 seat in short suck and had an anoying rocking problem. Lots of documentation on those crappy seats

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.
