What about these? Not sure of the dimensions... but maybe someone has used them or measured them They're $139/ea from Checker auto parts.

The bolsters themselves bend? That doesn't sound supportive. What if the driver is a big guy? Going around a corner...wouldn't the bolsters give to his girth?

width is important but Watch the height at the front of the seat. You may not be able to get your legs between the seat and the wheel without tilt and tele!! Especially the Stock wheel.

I think it would be a good idea for someone to compile a list of favorable aftermarket seats that will fit in a C3. I've heard of a lot that will, and a few that are close, but just a little to big. That would be a good resource for someone looking to upgrade the seating.

Cavalier / Sunfire seats have the plastic seatbelt pass through loop, and they are comfy, but I think they are a few inches too wide.
