Default Best seat swaps?

F-body seats are so uncomfortable, and the stock leather is cheap and does not last. I'm looking to replace my seats soon, was thinking of getting brand new Camaro seats or maybe put in some Firebird seats, heard those were slightly more comfortable.

Then I thought about putting C5 seats in, I'm not sure if those bolt into the F-body or not, anyone know?

Then I stumbled across a thread where people put anything and everything in their car! I saw S2000 seats, C6 seats, GTO seats, all in the F-body.

What is the overall best seat in terms of comfort and style for the F-body? Also, how difficult would it be to install seats from another car in a Camaro?

hey there,
ok im no expert, but i did just install new race style seats in may camaro. i shopped around, found some decent ones at amazon, and ordered brackets through a different company. it tuirned in to an ordeal getting the brackets from cipher, and when they arrived they didnt have holes drilled likle they shud have. so long story short, i wish i wud have just went with 6LE designs the sponsor here and got the whole setup. but in the end the seats feel awsome and i love the new look, way more comfortable and better support for my back etc etc.
lesson 1= buy seats and brackets same place/ as a unit
few extra dollars well worth it
lesson 2= new race style seats=awsome
hope this helps
also, u MUST get brackets for the f-body, other seats wont just bolt in.

Do you have pictures of your seats? Are the "racing style" seats you got actually more comfortable than the standard Camaro seats?
