No, because they are just as bad. They may actually have less lateral support. Put in firebird seats like everyone else.

Grand Prix seats suck so hard, way worse than f body seats. If you can find a nice set of 04+ seats, thats a whole different story but those are super heavy

I love my '06 Grand Prix GXP seats, but there's no way they'd ever fit in an f-body. The seat portion under your butt is way too tall. Not sure if the '97 GP seats are similar or not.

'97-'03 GP seats are definitely not an upgrade over stock Camaro seats, and like mentioned above, the '04+ will not fit

No...this is the best picture I could find, but you can still see how much they suck. Probably one of the least comfortable seats I've ever been in.

Yeah, I've owned both (GP and Camaro) and I can tell you, those Grand Prix seats were definitely not anything to get excited about.
