Thinking about replacing seats in my 88GT, what else is out there? (Page 1/1)

I want something a little more comfortable for my 88 GT. They are ok, but are not very supportive.

Was wondering what is out there that can be made to fit without a ton of modifications? I can weld as well if need be.

Anyone got examples of non-Fiero seats you have installed in your Fiero?

Thanks!

One of the problems I had to deal with on my 85 SE V6 was the seat (after 25 years) was "Too low".....There was also a tear in the side bolster.....got a passenger seat cover in good shape from JY and pulled seat to have a friend install it. Looking at the bottom of the seat- it was apparent that the foam bottom had separated from the metal pan and was sagging. My friend installed some web-straps across the bottom of the seat pan which solved the problem.




Might be something to look into....

Also, the back has a zipper at the bottom- I opened it and stuffed a folded towel in there for more back-support.

I've used 4th gen Camaro seats, corvette seats, and a set out of a 95 gtp and a 2001 grand prix, but the best seats I've found for a fiero have been a 84 indy seat and non worn out 86 seats. I do recommend taking your seat out and fixing the foam supports (bits of wire basically or make a plate to cover it) also if your seat adjustment wire that goes between the tracks or looks brittle now is a great time to grab 16? gauge hot wire (electric fence wire spools) and make a new much stronger one.
I've redone these seats on a very strict budget of 10 dollars and it made all the difference. I need to make a post on how to repair and make them better for cheap soon.

I am using stock C4 seats on one of my cars.
