Re: Seats....
I prefer the early seats. The sport seats in the L98 89 we have are great; next I would say the sport seats in the 91, then finally the sports seats in the 96. The 96's just don't hold snug enough IMHO. However if I was going to swap and it was between the base 94-96 and sport 94-96 I would go sport hands down they look 100x's better IMHO. Other than that I would keep the 90-93’s for the overall look and function.

Re: Seats....
nice range of input.. So if I keep the sport seats I have (92) any suggestions for the back shells?

Re: Seats....
For those of you who have changed to the 94-96, I'd love to see pics of the seat (in your Z
 )The 90 sport seat is too narrow for me. I'm 6'1" 185 and on long trips my left leg gets pretty cramped. |

Re: Seats....
Jeff,
My butt ain't zackly big (waist = 38"), yet the 90 sport seats were awful in that they pinched my thighs so they cut off circulation. I so loved my base 95 car seats that when Jason (Vette2Vette) had a pair of base 95s come available, I grabbed 'em. I LOVE 'em, and Ami does as well! (If they were too narrow for me, think about how they fit the ladies!) Every carcus is different, but I believe you would enjoy the base 94-96 seats, or possibly the 95 or 96 sport seat (about the same). One other consideration that might be a consideration, consider the weight of the sport seats to the base (94-95) seats. There is a few pounds difference, "Fer Sher!" Here's the only pic I have of the "new" seats. Another nice thing about these seats is they really make getting in and out a lot easier, in spite of the sill  P.

Re: Seats....
I have the stock 90 seats (2nd set) and think they are fine for me.
The adj side bolster is great and the lower seat adj gets attention based on how long a drive I have. The lumbar support could be larger but it's acceptable.

Re: Seats....
Yeah Paul, I talked to Jason and I have a couple options with him.. I have some 94-96 base leather and cushions, but need frames.
Other thought was get a set of Sport seats and then do something custom with them at some point..
