Seats?
How comfortable are the seats supposed to be in an 81? It just doesn't feel like they do justice for me. Any thoughts? I also have a good crack/rip in my passengers seat that needs to be fixed.

I just got my leather seat covers and seat foam in for my '71 and the group cost me right at $550(includes shipping & the installation kit).

Re: Seats? (ElectronBlueC3)
there is a great post in the archive about adding C5 seats to our cars.. http://www.corvettefaq.com/c3/c5seats.htm
that would look cool and the c5 seats are nice.
actually there is a member selling a mint pair of c5 seats at a good price right now.

My 82's seats are pretty new and I think they are pretty decent. Im 6'1" and I fit the seats without any problems. I suppose if I had any complaints, I would like to get more back recline before the rear of the seat hits the upper floor area.
Mine are 6-way power so I can raise the front of the seat to get the best position for my set up. I can survive 4-5 hour trips without too much stiffness so it not too bad in my book.

Re: Seats? (ElectronBlueC3)
I installed "leather mounted seat cushions" in my '79 and with new springs and foam, the seats are much firmer and I found much better lateral support as well...
