Default OE Seats very uncomfortable

Do you guys have any ideas on how to change the recline position of the seats? This car is actually difficult to drive with the seat leaning so far back. I'm 5' 11" 175 lbs. So, do I just get a pillow?

I want to see too!!! I'd love to find some Z06 seats for my car. Can't help with the recline though. With them reclined way back, you can be cool like all the homies I see driving around Detroit.

I don't think the black Z06 seats look right in the car with red interior. I think you should remove them and send them to me. They would look much better in my car with the black interior.

They are SWEET!

Default Recline

To move the recline just tilt the seat forward and look down. There are two stops about 1" diameter that the seat back rests on. They are screwed intot the seat base. Just unscrew them a few turns. I think there is a stop nut too.

I'm trying to decide if it's ricey or not for the seats to have the Z06 badge on them.

j/k, looks good, I hope to do this as well someday.

Got them from a friend, wheels to, but sold on ebay yesterday.
I do all my own work, and mod's. I like the fact my car cannot
be bubba"ed.
these do not just bolt in, few hours, blood, sweat, a few
thinking breaks, and more thinking breaks, work well

Those seats look really awesome in there! They look like they fit very well too. How much different are the Z06 seats from the standard late model vette seats? That might be a good way to go in our new vette.
