Does that mean your not going to offer anything constructive Aaron? lol

Pretty much. Razz

I wanted to do this swap badly when I had my IROC, but people think 4th gen seats are made out of solid effing gold, so I could never afford it.

I never thought 4thgen seats were all the great. Question

Then again, the stockers I had looked remarkably like 4thgen seats. I ditched those within a few weeks. Not my cup o' tea. But that's a hell of a deal dude! Smile

I never really liked 3rd gen, 4th gen, or corvette seats. I wouldn't put them in my car, but they will sure be an A+ upgrade for yours Derek. Now 5th gen seats on the other hand, I would consider. They are so very comfortable.

Very niace! I have 4th gen's in mine. You just need to swap the seat rails and you're golden. As far as I know, the power seats are just in the rails. What power options do you have for those seats?

The stock leather seats in my '91 RS were pretty nice. Wish I had kept them. Sad

yes they are a direct bolt-in swap.

Direct swap unless the rear is a solid and you have a split, etc.

As travis said, the power part is only in the rails. So if you dont have time, or dont want the power option, just swap rails.

Swap the rails and change the electrical plug end. Also mentioned above, the rear seat back wont be split, not a big deal, just have to remove the bracket from your old seats. Drill out the spot welds.

I put mid 90's T/A seats in my wifes convertible. The only real issue is that the rear seat back is about an 1 1/2" lower than the 3rd gen, leaves a gap when the top is down.

I would love to install a set of modern GTO seats into my car, but they are to tall and would leave no rear seat leg room. They are really nice though.

Going to a split rear seat is easy. Just did in in Zahara's car. Used four large pop rivets to attach the bracket. Worked like a charm.

Alright it's been a week, Where's the pics?

Unfortunetly the sale is still pending.. Sad

Do to dude not getting his racing seats off ebay yet...
BTW I don't have the split buckets in the back so shouldn't be a problem.

Xophertony · Posted: Thu Mar 25, 2010 8:05 am Post subject:

you don't have to drill anything. if you do have a split rear leave the bracket. you will only see it a little, and it gives you the option to roll back tio a split rear someday. a third gen leather split rear would go nicly with 4th gen front seats for example.
