4th gen seats, Camaro vs. Firebird

I cant decide if I should buy seats from Camaro or Firebird for my 86 T/A.

I like the look of the camaro seats better but I have been told that the Firebird seats have better supports.

So I am asking you:

1) wich one is better?
2) why is it better?

Comfort, I've HEARD Firebirds are better. IMHO the Camaro looks more streamlined and less bulky, therefore better

Both are nice... Firebird seats are a bit more comfortable but hardly a difference....depends really on the style you want...I went with a set of leather Formula seats out of a 98' Formula because the Firebird seats have the headrest like the original seats in my IROC....

Like others have said I doubt there'll really be much of a difference. It's really up to personal preference. I personally prefer the look of the T/A seats. I also think that they offer better support and comfort adjustability due to inflatable lumbar and side bloster supports, however I think some Camaro seats also have this option? I also like having a separate headreast with my T/A seats that the Camaro seats don't have. In the end it's probably 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other, but I say go for T/A seats
