A buddy of mine has a set of really nice seats out of his 98 Trans Am he's going to give me for 100$. I have a 93 z28 Camaro. My drivers seat in the Camaro is power, and the drivers seat in the Trans Am is also power.

My question is....

Will the 98 Trans Am seats bolt right to the 93 Camaro seat brackets? I'm getting the seats from him without his factory brackets.

Also, will the power seat harness from the 98 plug right into the 93's? Or will I have to do some re-wiring?

 

nothing special, just swap the brackets over and bolt them in.

 

Sweet! But I need to use my Camaro brackets for the Trans Am seats, since he isn't giving me his brackets. The Trans Am seats will bolt right up to the Camaro brackets no problem?

 

yup they will bolt right in.

 

AWESOME Thanks guys, can't wait to get these bad boys in!

 

You are going to need the wiring harness to get the side boltsters to work! It runs underneath the center console and links the air pump and electric to both seats. If your friend is giving you the seats have him give you the harness as well. Not really worth doing the swap twice.

I installed them in my car about a year ago. For some reason I had to unbolt the seat brackets and reroute the vac. tubes to get them to reach the harness though.

 

Damn I have the air pump deleted in my car... I didn't even know the side bolsters were adjustable on TA seats?

 

^mine aren't. i don't think the 98 seats are the same as the later years, don't think they had all the same features. that is, unless the original owner of my car took all that stuff out, or if they were upgraded features i just don't have... i'm not sure

 

Hmm... yeah that's pretty interesting, I'm no expert but I've never heard of the side bolsters being adjustable on those seats. If they are, that's pretty awesome lol.

Anyone know?

 

I have no idea about your question but I will say good luck and hope it works out for ya and if you dont mind, post up pics of the swap when/if you get it done. I'd like to see the swap.

 

Not all Trans Am seats had the power bolster sides..Some did, some didn't. If you look under the passengers seat he is giving you, there should be a pump. If you see a pump under it, then yes those seats have the power bolster option.

Or you can simply look at the wiring harness he will give you and see if there are "vacuum tubes" in there.

 

okay thats what i thought

 

Wait, so are the bolsters powered by their own separate air pump on the seats, or the air pump in the engine bay?

 

And I'll definitely post up some pics when it's done

 

yeah SMG how's them rare side bolsters treatin ya hahah

 

Both seats should have power lumbar and side bolsters. They are powered by an air pump under the passanger seat. You need to link the seats together by using the electic/vac. harness that runs underneath the center console.

I always loved this feature in the Trans Am's! That is why I made the upgrade.

 

The man I bought the seats from!! One of the favorite things I installed in my car along with the auto dim/temp/compass rearview and ipod jack.

 

haha if you rewrapped those seats in suede and vinyl I bet they would grip u w/ the side bolsters pointed in all the way.

 

Good thread guys.

I am going to be doing this same swap. I own both a 98 Trans Am and a 93Z28. The TA is down and the Zs front seats are pretty rough. I plan, probably 2mrw, to remove the TA seats to put them in the Z. If I decide not to use the lumbar, will everything else just bolt in and work properly? I.E. the tracks and power. The rear seat in the TA is shot so it will more than likely stay until I can find a better one. Thanks.

 

My brother has a 95 Z28 convertible & he put seats from a 99 Trans Am in he got them hout a t top coupe they bolted right up w/no issues they look great too
