Yes, the drivers side has 6 way adjustments plus lumbar. The passenger does not. If I did not tell anyone they were Mustang seats, hardly anyone would ever know. lol Al

I like them, couldn't care less who made them as long as they are supportive and comfortable. Great choice and I am sure more of these seats will make their way into our C3's. I've had C5 seats in mine since '01, love them.

I'd like to find a decent race seat that doesn't have the manufacturers name plastered all over it. A plus would be embroidering the Stingray script or the crossed flags that I see in a couple of these pictures. Lots of leather jackets out there for sale with these insignia but I have no idea where to obtain just the logos. Anybody have any suggestions along those lines?

The Corbeau A4s can be ordered without branding. Regardless of seat selection you may want to consider buying the Corbeau seat rails and mounting hardware. You can order the standard brackets or the 1" cut down brackets if your taller.

Leather A4s, no branding.

I drive a mustang, the only time those seats begin to get uncomfortable is around hour 10. Never been in a fiero, so I can't vouch for them.
