LT1 headrests in LS1? anyone done this swap? the LT1 T/A headrests look much more comfy compared to the flat *** rests in the LS1 T/A...

LT1 headrests suck.
They never stay where you put them. Unless they're in the retracted position.
Had a '93 T/A, & you could pull them forward to try to get them in a comfortable position, but if ya hit any small bump they'd pop right back where they started.
So I took them apart & put a small screw in them to hold them forward, ...
Fixed that damn thing, ...
IMO, I like the looks of the LS1 style better.

silver02TA, I agree with you. But what year are they, cuz I have seen plenty of LT1 T/A's with the LS1 style. I know the ones you speak of, and they look much better than ours..

They are real noisy and move all around...they are pieces of crap, although I think I kinda like the look better. After I got my headrests embroidered though, I kinda like the flatter look of the LS1s with the firechicken on it...do you really use your headrest, or is it strictly for appearances only?

It def wobbles, and it sucks to heat it up and have to bust your *** just to get it out of the seat and then back in... It looked dope, and no the black color is just dk grey, (graphite)... i have yet to see an actual ebony... stick with the ironing board 98+ style... it is not worth the time...
