Think about changing seats....
Like it says, I'm thinking of changing the seats I have now to another kind. Does anyone know anything about these from Summit Racing? Quality, fit etc?
Here's what Summit Racing says about them:
"The leather look, without the leather price.
These Summit sport seats deliver the look of expensive leather racing seats, without their expensive price tag. These seats have soft, comfortable, simulated leather upholstery, lumbar and shoulder bolsters for added support, cutouts for safety harnesses, and recline and tilt forward mechanisms. Adjustable sliders are included."

I'm looking to have these seats for daily driving. Any suggestions? Fiero seats? Late model C3 seats? Ricaros?
What works the best when you change seats. Not to fond of the stock C3...no support & not very comfortable.

I like the way these fit -but yes if your over 6ft most seat are going to be a few inches higher-Im 5-11 and they fit nice for me with Power and lumbar.Using the stock adjuster and 2 of the 4 oringinal holes helps-aftermartket adjusters suck,and usuall raise the seat even more.[IMG]

I used the tracks off the old C-3 seats. Had to make adapter plates to make the fiero seats fit the tracks. If you do a search, someone had posted diagrams on the modification that were pretty well done.
The seats do sit higher, so if you're tall you might want to check the dimensions carefully.
