I guess it depends which 4th gen seats you're comparing to which thirdgen seats. The 4th gen Pontiac seats with the adjustable lumbar offers far better support than any thirdgen seat except for the GTA or the L/S Contour Camaro seats. Maybe the early Trans Am recaros too, although I've never sat in those.

I believe the 4th gen "power lumbar supported" seatbacks are Identical to the thirdgen Ultima "GTA" seat style. The seatbottoms though are different.

They're better than your 1 piece seats, but in general, Camaro seats suck.
