Default Racing Seats

I'm looking for racing seats that the back tilts forward and will fit in the C-5 with the standard seat belts attached and quick release
four points that hook to a harness bar.

I installed Corbeau A-4s in my C-4 (85) but had to remove the factory seat belts to get the seats to fit.

I have Caravaggio racing seats in my C5. The seat does NOT recline, however the factory power adjustments that allow the seat to tilt forward or back still work. I've found that I am very comfortable in the seats, don't need them to recline to be comfortable. Although, I used to 'recline' the seat forward to keep the leather cooler in the summer!

I also believe Caravaggio has more stock-like seats that can use 5 point harnesses and retain all the factory adjustments, tilt and recline.

My seats allow 5 point harnesses or factory seat belt (I have both, one for street one for track).

They were very easy to install.
