I had the cloth power sport seats on my 84. They were great and light.

100% stated correct as Andrew stated above

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.

^^^ It's because they are really cheap and part of the support beyond the slider track is actually plastic. They are known to break and/or get that loose rocking back and forth kind of wear. But yes, the late sport seats are still the best C4 seats.

the Seat bottoms are virtually the same 84-94 (the hard shell piece)

the 93-older have the hard shell while the 94-96 use a tubular hoop.

Bob, you still have them?
What color? (need black)
They for sale/trade for 1991 seats?

They are black...
They are also still in use... well... they will be again someday when I get the car running again.

Bob,

Maybe you can write Pete a 36month/36000mi. lease.

I put '96 sport seats into my '90. I absolutely love them. As I recall, they were just plug and play for the position controls. I didn't bother with the lumbar controls because I never used them.

Just doing it for the comfort factor, I agree that the original seats are better performance seats. Good to hear it's plug and play for the basic controls. Now I just have to find a decent set of gray seats locally.
