Default Best "Race" Type Seat w/ Stock Seat Belts

Sorry, I know seats have been discussed hundreds of times but after reading a number of threads I have come to no conclusions.

What is the best seat choice for better support than stock C6 seats ???

A seat that can be mounted so the airbags work, the seat can be adjusted and the stock belts can be used ???

THANKS in advance for advice and pictures

Recaro Pole Position. More money: Caravaggio Corvettes.

Caravaggio keeps all the electronics happy. $1395 ea.

The other adjustable option might be similar to what I did in my RX7, which is MOMO seat rails, then mount on those. But in the Corvette you'll have to be pretty short to pull that off...

The electronics are no longer a problem. Just call Pfadt Racing and order one of their connectors.

How much are the pole positions and are you saying you can keep the power options on the recaros? I was looking at Caravaggios but would love to keep the power with something cheaper.

jsut remove the seat motor harness and reconnect it to the base of the floor, and it should fit snug under your aftermarket seat.

Worked just fine on the C5 w/ sparco Rev
