i have heard of people adding padding before. you could get something like a leather racing seat, 6LE had a special on some a little while ago

I'm in the debate of what to do about mine right now. My seats kill my back. So i'm very hesitant to just spend some major bills on a pair of leather racing seats without knowing how they'd do on the back and rear area.

I've often wondered however, if the seats that came in the c5 vettes would work well in an fbody? Anyone know about this?? Sorry if i've missed a thread on it somewhere.

Look up 6LITEREATER's seats, they're really nice and pretty damn cheap considering what you get. There's a link in my sig.

I found the T/A seats very comfortable. I dont know if Camaro's are adjustable but the air pillows in our seats help shape them well. I can ride in the car for an hour and a half (have never been on a longer trip) fine without being uncomfortable at all.

the seats in the Z suck flat out. They are in great condition and look fine but are not ideal for long drives of any sort. I'd like to eventually find a set of t/a seats w/the lumbar adjustment.

6litereater does have some great seats... I've sat in them before on a long drive. Can either be 5 point, or modified for stock. Comfy too!

6litereaterdesigns.com

...and he's a sponser as well.

I have black power leather seats in my '96 Z28 and I think the earlier 4th gen seats look better and they are mighty comfy as well.
