I say it's a big waste, since I will trade you my power seat track for your manual track. Where are you located?

I like having my power seat since, and it makes it a lot easier for my wife who is short, drive it comfortably. (not like she wants to even drive it)

Probably find something local cheaper and more complete like maybe both sides. I have bought two complete sets of tan leather 12-way Bonneville SSEI seats with rails and controls and back seats even for $100 and $160. These are very popular with the b-body crowd, three lumbar bladders, power side bolters the works.

Don't know what it would take to put them in an f-body but just an example of how many potential options you have and how reasonable pricing can be. Both sets were from junkyards, one set I had to pull the other they pulled which accounts for the pricing.

The Bonnie seats are much better than even the heated/lumbar/power recline seats in the Roady wagon, which is why I just picked up that second set I am putting them in the wagon. Now I just need to try and take the heaters out of the wagon seats and put them in the bonnies.

I like my 4-way adjustable electric. They are 6-way, but the leg adjustment is manual

Actually the 6-way Bonnie seats have the controller mounted to the seat which may make then a convenient retrofit.

The 12-ways use a common controller mounted in the console, passengers get all screwed up because the stock 6-way controls are still on the door.

12-way o_0 Even my buddies Vette I don't think has 12-way lol My 93's 4-way are on the side of the seats. Passenger runs off the driver's compressor motor.

Mean? I don't quite follow. What's the diff? I know 82-02 seats are all swapable. What diff is there between a TA and any others???

the 93-96 leather seas had a different design to them. in 97 they upgraded the interior(dash, center console, and seats). those seats just appeal to me more for some reason. and TA's have headrests on them whereas camaro seats do not. a friend of mine has a set of black leather TA seats in his that the previos owner installed and i think they look good.

If you decide you want a power seat setup I have the complete lower cushion from a 94 z28 with the working power motors, switch, trim, etc for $75 shipped.



Quick Reply: should i get it or is it worthless?
