I have to get new seats because the frames were cracked and frankly I hated the stock seats. Does anyone have any experience with the SickSpeed seats shown below:




Here are the dimensions:





thanks,

Got a link? Width looks OK. Height of the base may be an issue.

Looks like almost every "type R" racing seat available on eBay, but maybe with more seat padding.

Maybe they use better quality upholstery, but is it $350 better?

Sounds like maybe you have looked into new seats, do you recommend any that are decent quality that will fit in the C3 corvettes ?

I've spent plenty of time looking but I don't have personal experience. Other members have swapped in corbeau a4s, corvette c5, and fiero seats. If you're tall at all you should order the a4s with a shaved base. Fiero seats will also put you a few inches higher. I'm already looking at the top of the windshield when I drive, so I've held back from making any purchases.

I'm only 5'10". I was also looking at the Corbeau GTS II, do you know if they will fit ?

There are so many seats out there, and a lot of them are junk. My understanding is if the seat is 19-20" wide, 20-23" depth and 32-34" tall and upper bolster is < 20-20.5" wide then there is a good chance it will fit, am I correct ?

I'm going to go to a salvage yard this weekend and look for Fiero and Mazda Miata seats. I really want a nice leather seat so does anybody know if seats from Acura RSX, Acura Integra, Acura TL, Audi A4, BMW 318i, Honda Civic, Infiniti G20, Lexus ES250, Mercedes 240, Nissan 300ZX, Pontiac Firebird, Pontiac G6, VW Passat, or VW Jetta will work ?
These are the cars seats that I will be eye-balling and measuring at the salvage yard.

I upgraded to 2004 Corvette dual electric sport seats. I paid 900 plus shipping for them back in 2009. They should be a lot cheaper by now.
I cut out the floors and fabricated dropped floor pans so they would fit in even on both sides and both would have functioning electric adjustments.

I believe I read that 2010 mustang seats also fit.
The GTO seats are too wide which is a shame.
