4th Gen. seats in my IROC-Z now.

I got a pair of 4th Gen. 1995 Firebird seats for my Camaro the other night when I did my rear end swap. I tell you what, they look way better and feel more comfortable than the 3rd Gen. seats I had. Both seats also weigh less and are both manuals. The pics below were quick shots as it was about 20F degrees out.

Those look really nice. I just put some charcoal leather 4th gen seats in my 88 camaro. It's great that they are a direct bolt.

Likewise, both me and my dad placed 4th gen 'Bird seats into our repsective cars. Much more comfortable and stylish and I like the look better than 4th gen Camaro seats. Nicely done, do you have the rear seats too? Same ease of installation.

Thanks for the comment. I like them myself, alot. One of my friends kept bugging me though as to why I didn't get some leather seats. I told him leather is over-rated and they crack and are hard to fix/replace. The cloth seats I have now don't even have one rip on them. If something does come up I can just have it sowed.

Re: 4th Gen. seats in my IROC-Z now.

They might be lighter than 3rd gen seats. I didnt check. But they are deffinately more comfortable and so far stronger. Im a big guy and broke 2 third gen seats. You need to get the seat belt holders for the headrests. you'll like them a lot better when you have them.

Both of the seats I got were from a 95 Firebird, both manual seats too. My former seats were power seats and were much heavier. The seats I have in my IROC are for really 3 reasons.

1.) Alot less heavier, less weight equals good for me racing.
2.) Needed a passenger seat again and I got these 2 for $50.
3.) Are manual so I don't have to worry about them going bad. Plus they bolt right in and look better too.
