SEAT ADVICE Needed

Looking for comfortable seats to replace driver and passenger in my 88 IROC vert.

I’m a girl and it’s my daily driver so no racing seat advice please.

Anyone have any ideas what will fit (maybe photos)?

Re: SEAT ADVICE Needed

The 4th gen seats are nice, and usually available for relatively cheap - I got a good set from a 99 for about $160 for all seats front and rear - and it's a direct swap. The power option of the 4th gen seat is nice too - just run a wire under the carpet to the fuse panel and plug it into one of the BATT slots.

I got a set of 4th gen seats out of a 2002 Trans Am and I love them. They are way more comfortable than the 3rd gen seats. I got the leather seats for $450 plus shipping and I'd gladly pay that again if I didn't have them. I also hooked up the power lumbar and bolster for both driver and passenger seat to my original harness. A search using my username should pop that up as I put together a walk through on how to hook them up.

Re: SEAT ADVICE Needed

I just recovered my 92 leather power seats and they are very comfortable. I had extra support and padding put into the lumbar and side panels. Everyone that sits in them love 'em. Most Thirdgen seats have been sat in for 16 to 28 years...they should feel bad...LOL...it just depends on what your interior goals are...whatever you do get power seats, they are better.

Re: SEAT ADVICE Needed

The 4th generation seats are an awesome upgrade. I got a set from a wrecked Firehawk for 400.00 and couldn't be happier.
