Default Who has after market seats?

Im looking for new seats. I broke the back on the drivers side of mine. Im not sure if I want to go with after market ones or not. Never really sat in any. I think the stocks ones are pretty good. I'm a decent sized guy and 6'2 and about 220lbs just to give you an idea so I don't need a seat for a small person. Any idea at what kind I should get if I go with new ones?

Those are really nice! I like those. Can't find a price though I would really like real leather but these seem really nice too , anything to be worried about with vinyl?

400 each. I'll be putting a set in mine next yr unless I decide to just redo my stk seats in new leather.

I have Corbeau A4's. I love them. Some say they are a little narrow, but they have a wide version, rails for corvettes, 1 in lower rails for tall people, adjustable backs too. I love mine. super comfy

Pretty sure the wide ones won't fit in a C5 from what I've heard. Also the normal A4s you have to flip so the recliner lever is in the middle?

I'm looking at getting A4s or some Sparcos if I keep mine.

Ya they do have to be flipped, but it's not that big of a deal.

C6 seat aren't much better then C5 imo. Corvette factory seats are horrible. They have 0 lateral support and next to not side bolstering. The bottom of the seats are even worse then the back, and they break down fast. The poor quality leather cracks and tears easily.

Aftermarket seats hold you in place so well. It's amazing what the car can do when your not death gripped on the wheel, because the seat holds you in place.
