I'm trying to find out who has what for a aftermarket seats. The aluminum style racing bucket isn't suitable for my application.
Besides the obvious choice of a nice leather 4th gen, I'm looking at the Scat/Procar Sport Seat model.
I've heard of a couple of unpleasent stories regarding the seat track fitment. Should a fellow go with aftermarket tracks or adapt the OEM pieces to fit?
A few links to check out.

well i just went expensive with sparco TORINO 2 and there track kit and brackets it wound up working great but $1600 is a lot. but ive never had any experience with any other brands but remember you do get what you pay for. if you want to see how it turned out ill see if i can get some pics up by next week

 

I had forgotten about Sparco. I'll check them out. Pictures are always good.
Thanks.

 

they are great but only if you are willing to spend big$ ill post pics this Monday coming up

 

a good set of aftermarke seats $360.

making a set of factry GM third gen seat tracks sit at the right hight.angle.and work. so the install looks factry. $30

sitting in them knowing you did all the work....priceless

did a full install with photos about a year ago

 

So I've heard.

 

remember if your going to mod GM seat rails.(none power) use 2 pasngr side rail sets. this way aftermarket seats sit at the right angle and hight.

 

Interesting. I'll keep that in mind when the time comes to swap in new seats.
Ideally, what I'd like to do is drive to where my seats get shipped to (not at my shop unfortunately) and install them there with basic hand tools. I won't have the opportunity to fab or modifiy any bracketry at the time of installation. If the aftermarket seats (whatever I decide to get) will fit on stock tracks, even if they're a little off kilter initially, that'll get me home and I can make whatever changes are needed later.

 

got a link to the pics ?

 

This might be what you're looking for.
