The best places to look are at the junkyards and on ebay or the classifides on the main page. Or putting it in your sig so everyone can see that you are looking for a set and make sure to say what kind and type you want. Like split or solid rear seats.

Yes but you will need to add another striker for the split bench seat to latch onto. And you will have to make a hole for the pin of the foldown seat to use as a pivit joint.

They come up pretty regularly on ebay, and sell for about 350-400. I just paid 400 for a set of clean power cloth out of a 94.

The 4TH Gen Cars are not being wrecked or junked fast enough to supply the high demand for there seats. Thats the reason for this shortage. I already got my seats from a 95 Z . Anyone have any ideas on this subject??

I got mine for $150.00!!! I was just checking the yards around here and one said he just got a 95 Z28 in. I went to check them out and they were the ones I wanted. He knew that I had been looking for them so he gave them to me cheap. Get to know the guys at your local yards and when something comes in, they might let you have first crack at them. GL!

If we keep taking those seats out of the 4TH GEN cars, we will rule the roads again. Keep buying those seats.

remember too that the design changed for them throughout the years so the 98+ have different patterns than the pre-98.

also, some colors weren't available in certain years as well as two tones.

leather in a popular color should run roughly 400-600 depending on condition....mileage being the main key. less than 35,000 i wouldn't pay to much for leather.

cloth you can pick up anywhere from 100-400 depending on who you go through.

tan is typically more expensive and white is the most ranging from 800-1200.

good luck with them, they make a huge difference.

that's about what those go for, cloth isn't really demanded much so if that's what you want you can find really good deals.

for a daily driver and especially year round i would have to go with cloth. leather is strictly for looks as it's not only stiffer, but hot as hell in the summer and super cold in the winter.


but it looks good.

local junkyards are your best bet plus you may be able to get them really cheap, you just got to do some looking around. It's alittle more fun that way, cause you may find some other stuff that you need. Besides I got my set of fourthgen front and back for $200 they were as good as new, stiff like they were new.
