Default a1 Racing Seats

Found a pair of racing seats that fits great with my budget and color scheme...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pair-...Q5fAccessories


Anyone used thse before and able to tell me if they would fit in a 69 coupe?

Also, I've read from some others that installed c5s into thier c3 that the seats sit a little higher. I actually want this bc i'm a little bit short and have trouble seeing over the drivers edge of my l-88 hood.
Anyone with racing seats know how they sit in height relative to the factory 69 seats?
Thanks!

I would email them and get the seat dimensions, the inside of a C3 is pretty tight, anything wider than 21" at the front and it will hit the trans tunnel, also check the shoulder width as it will hit the door.

I have the C5 seats in my car and yes they do sit a little higher. I like you am slightly verticly challenged. 5'7" to be exact. I like the extra height. They fit fine and give good support and are much more comfy than the old stockers.

Those seats look decent for the price, if you get them post some pictures of the install and finished look!
