Default After market seats ...

Looking to put in after market seats into the 1968 convertible that we have. Looking at sparco,corbeau and any other that you might recommend. We will most likely also put in a 5 point harness.

Are there any out there that will require no modification? If not, how much work would be needed for this?

Also, I'm 6'4 and have read that some seats aren't good for more then X height ...

Thank you,

Kosta

My car came with Flofit seats, no mods that I can see, very comfy and supportive as they have a pump on 2 points for lumber support. They do not have 5 point harness. http://www.seatsource.com/products_flofit.htm
