I think that a lot of people on here are asking the same question: What seats will fit in my ThirdGen? Well i think it would be a good idea to come up with a list of them, so post any seats you know of that will bolt right into a 3rd generation Camaro. Just list the year, make, and model of the car, and any positives or negatives about the seats!

Correct, I went with 1/2" because if you go much more than that you will start seeing the spacers. Right now I used 1/2" aluminum spacers and you can't even see them....man what a huge difference.
I don't feel like a little kid driving his dads car for the first time anymore, couldn't see over the hood I'm 36 years old and 5' 6".
i would be interested in hearing about seats from other makes like bmws vader seats and the corvette seats... anyone know of any other seats fit or pictures
you know it doesnt take much to just custom make some seat brackets???? people do it in street rods all the time.. i made mine to.

-1982-2005 Cavalier seats
-1995-2005 Sunfire seats
-1982-1994 Sunbird seats
-1985-1998 Grand am seats (note: early grand am GT in '88 or '89 came with the ultima seat like the GTA. I find there normally in the fully loaded ones. Also, around '94, give or take a few years, some grand ams came with a seat that was pretty much the same as 4th gen seats, but a bit softer and had a different headrest. Later, some grand am GT seats came with leather.)
-1984-1988 Fiero seats (Not too sure on this one. never put them in my car, but my friend said he has before)
-1987-1996 Beretta seats(Once again, have not put them in my car, but I have seen em in a third-gen at a car show once)
My third gen has seen a wide array of seats haha. All these seats require the third gen track to directly bolt into the car. I'm sure there are a ton other seats out there that bolt up directly, but these are the ones im sure that work. Hope this helps!
(Oh, and none of the back seats out of these cars will bolt into the back of a third gen)
Beretta seats are not by any means a direct swap.... i'm running 96 Z26 fronts in my car and the entire rails had to be swapped, holes had to be drilled for the camaro tracks. Not a big deal at all, but they are definatly not a direct swap like this thread is making it seem. Had them recevered along with the stock camaro rear seat to match. they do look good, however there is no loop for the seat belt and that gets kind of annoying after a while.

Yeah, thats always been my issue with seat swaps. (Seatbelt retainer)
Those seats do look really nice in there!
I put some very nice Saturn seats into the Forumula, similar shape to original seats, but much better fabric, sturdier internal frame and way better seatbelt guide (on headrest). You need to swap the mounts, but they otherwise bolt up and are the same height.
Autotec101 posted that he installed Eagle Talon seats into his car and that they were "nearly a direct fit" and that he used the rear top portion and recovered the 3rd gen rear lower with the talon fabric.
It would be nice to know what exactly he had to do because I would assume that the Laser and Eclipse seats would fit as well. I'm interested in the 3000GT/Stealth leather seats too.

I have cavalier seats in my bird. Got them from the pick and pull for 50$ They are very comfortable.
How were they as far as height is concerned? Do they sit higher or lower?

i put 2002 trans am seats in my 90 camaro - all leather and electric, not one problem.
but you have to cut that bar that goes across the hump and holds the dual rear folding seats. it is not needed and can be cut off with ease. if you leave it on you have this piece of metal that sticks out from the carpet and into the elbow of anyone sitting in the back seats. LOL - sitting in the back seats. no one sits in my back seats, except me when i tested them out.
My old boss is a 3000gt freak. He drives a Vr-4 Spyder, and he has a connection in southern Illinois who is running a 3000gt/stealth junk yard/dealership and we are working out a deal to get me some seats, I'll see what kind of supply of seats he has too.
anyone know if the new gen GTO seats will fit in? i found a nice local deal on some black leather goat seats and since i've always wanted a GTO (though the older models), it'd be a little taste hehe
Actualy found some this past weekend But they were trashed

If a pick and pull type yard is near you see if they have a 3rd gen and a Cadillac Cattera and do some test fitting.
The Caddy has the same floor pan as the Goat and the seat frames should be the same as well.
Did two seat swaps today. Got front seats out of a 05 sunfire. put them in my son's 91 rs. Also got front seats out of 99 cavalier for my 89 vert. They were not direct bolt in, You need to swap the seat rails on both, not a big deal. I saw someone laughed at the thought of cavalier seats in a camaro. They are made with the same lack of quality as the original 3 gen seats, so no difference.LOL. They do look ok and are more comfortable. worth the 50 bucks a set we paid.
