I peronsally like the 4th gen Camaro bucket seats, never liked the head rest seats much in the birds. Comfort, i have never noticed a difference but i could be wrong there.

If you have the original harness for the seats.Should just be the pos/neg wires,plus a fuse.

if your going for comfort pontiac and if you own a camaro and care about looks then the chevy seats are the way to go.

hands down pontiac makes the nicer seat but they don't fit the contours of the camaro.

Bird seats are way more comfy. Believe me I had LT1guys SS leather seats for about 6mo and they are not comfy

I agree....bird seats are the way to go. I haven't spent a lot of time in the camaro seats, but the bird seats look more comfortable, and a friend of mine who owns a '95 Z28 prefers the bird seats over his Camaro seats. I've got the "GT" style 4th gen bird seats in my car. Power lumbar and side bolsters.



They're very comfy

Will the 4th gen seats fit in a 3rd gen?

Excuse the dumb-ish question...
