C5 seats are a popular mod.

Plenty of people here have put in racing seats on their Vettes. A lot of people do go with the C5 seats as well. I'm going to be putting in some SPARCO seats in my '74, but first I have to drop in the carpet and get some other things done inside.

Check out the seats at SpeedDirect.com, they have Corbeau seats that are customized to fit our C3's. If you try to use standard racing seats you will find the seat height is too high especially if you are trying to use the aftermarket sliders and mounts.
