Default Difference between sports seats and regular seats

My 84 Corvette needs new seat covers and foam and I'd like to know what the difference is between my regular leather seats and sports seats.

Also can sports seats be retrofitted easily into a car with 6 way adjustable controls?

Thanks for your help.

Bob

sport seats have cutouts in the side bolsters for the switches that control the lumbar pumps and bolster movement, they are more expensive , and you can put any c4 seat in any c4. you will find that you dont use the sport seat functions near as much as you thought you would, hope this helps, bob

The sport seats also have "Corvette" stitched on them.
