Seat swap

Hello All,

I am sure this has been addressed but I couldn't find a thread on it. I have a 92 Formula and would like to swap out the seats with the 4th gen seats. Here are my questions. Do these just swap and bolt right in? Any ideas on where I can get some decent ones? Or does anyone have aftermarket ideas. I want to keep the car stock looking. I am 6'5 315LBS former NFL linebacker. I need some support and the stock just don't do it. LOL!

Re: Seat swap

4th gen seats will sit higher so head clearance could become a major issue. I have 1999 Trans Am seats and pretty much none of my friends over 6 foot tall can ride in my car.

Re: Seat swap

I have a full set of graphite leather seats front and rear with power and lumbar in very good shape. Believe they are the 93-96 seats. Not sure where you’re at but I’ll be posting them for sale soon. Have not had them in a third gen but I did own a 99 WS6 back in the day, and being a guy your size I remember having to find a sweet spot for the seat for myself but once I did that no problems. Was a t top car also maybe had a little more head room idk
