I've done it.
I can't remember the exact year Grand Am, but I bolted my third gen tracks to it, and bolted them right in no problem. Just remember the seats are from a 4-door car, so they don't fold forward as far as your original seats will.

Re: Grand am seats in a 88 camaro?
any photos? always interested in seeing something a little different and since GA's are a dime a dozen around here, should open up some other options for cheap parts. besides, who uses the rear seats anyway

Re: Grand am seats in a 88 camaro?
I found a thread yesterday called "clearing the confusion" that outlined which seats from which cars could be used in our cars
grand am's were on the list but only certain years
I think it goes without saying that you should only be looking at 2 door grand ams

Re: Grand am seats in a 88 camaro?
Grand am seats are more thickly padded than normal camaro seats, so if you dont have issues with headroom (like me, at 6'8") they can give you a lot of comfort
Wish I could use them.....

Re: Grand am seats in a 88 camaro?
dang.... this thread has got me thinking. the padding in my 4th gen seats is so thin I can't drive my car with my wallet in my back pocket, if you know what I mean
i'm going to start looking on CL for people parting out 95-98 grand ams.... I need the headroom, but that's what the recline function is for, right?
