I am putting 99' leather camaro seats in my 90 Iroc and do not want to get rid of my originals. They are leather as well and I need to store them but I dont want the leather to dry up, shrink and start cracking on me. What would be the best way to store them?

put a nice heavy coat of hide food (lanolin based cream) on them. I have used the hide food on leather that was on its way to being dried out and it brought it back to life. Heck if Bentley sells the stuff for their cars it must work well. I got mine from www.autogeek.net

yup.

any protective leather cream will do. Even those used on Jackets would work.
