Pics of aftermarket racing seats...?
I was hoping some of you fine folks on the forum could post some pictures of aftermarket seats that have been installed in your Vettes. I have a '97 and the seats are *meh*. I'm curious about what sort of seats work best, how difficult the install is, and does the brand of seat really matter (i.e. Corbeau, Sparco, eBay...). Thanks for any help that y'all can provide!

Seats are one of the best mods you can do to these cars.
Mine aren't really "racing seats" but the Corbeau A4s are a popular option
They barely fit but you don't have to hack up anything to get them to fit. A popular choice here on the forum, there is a lot of info on them.

The skinnier the better with these seats.

I went with caravaggio buckets. They hold me in pretty well at a thin 5'11" 195. The other nice thing is they mount to the factory seat tracks and work well with stock belts or a 5 or 6 pt harness.

Both of those setups look sick as hell. Has anyone had any experience with the Cipher seats? They claim to be safe and crash rated, they are also fairly inexpensive as compared to Sparco or Bride. Thoughts?

I'm tall and thin with no *** and a 32in waist. The A4's are very comfortable for me. You can raise them or set the sliders farther forward if you need to.

I've got custom covered Procar Seats. And honestly...I'm a bit big for them and will probably do something else soon. I went through so much to get them though.

Here are my (now discontinued) Sparco Roadster IIs on Arizen racing brackets and sliders. Still amazes me how well the Sparco OEM coverings match the mod-red GM interior panels. Also very comfortable for a racing seat, fine for my 100 mile round-trip drive to work.
