Do you have Base or Sport 93 seats?

Do you want Base or Sport 94-96 seats?

I put 94 base seats in my 93. I have manual seats the 94 seat bolts on to the 93 tracks. My donors were on power tracks. IDK if the 94 seat cover back will mount on the 93 seat frame.

So the biggest difference is the controls for the 94-96 sport seats. There is only one switch to move the power track and the other side is the lumbar for the seats. The lumbar has a switch to flip controls between the two. So fornthe sport seats the hardest parts will be the wiring harness, the lumbar control switch and the pump. There are 3 or 4 other modules too small and easier to come across. The bladders on the 94-95 are made better and seem to last.

Sport seats are found here and eBay, but you cannot buy just covers for them youbhave to buy them with foam. Standard seats found in the same place but you can buy just coversnor with foam.

i have 94-96 sport seats in my 1990 but they look like base seats. You can see the controls in the bottom picture..
