Default Aftermarket seats

Has anyone put a Sparco Evo, Cobra Sportline, or Recaro Pole position seat in a C4? Hard/easy install? Will a 19" seat fit the tunnel?

I have a set of Corbeau A4 seats I mounted in my 90 vette. They are for sell with the sliders and brackets. I used them at five autocross events and that is it. I sold my other car and now have the Corbeau Pro Kevelar seats out of it and in the 90'. It took some time to get the brackets in the correct position. They will easily fit your 89' as you have about 1 1/2" more room to work with. I have seen several cars with Sparco seats so you should be OK. They need to be 21 1/2" or less to fit in the tunnel

Did you need custom installation/fabrication or are there brackets available for the C4? Also do you now sit lower, beacause that's one reason I want to change seats. I'm sick of banging my head on the roof, and not having upper body support with the stock seats. Thanks Simon K.
