Default comfortable red/black seats

I have a mod red interior and looking to replace the stock Z06 seats

I'm about 225, 38 inch waist, and need something comfortable for street driving better than the stock seats.

I like the seats in my old C5 95 ZR-1 better! looking for something that is lighter than the stock seats with the red/black color scheme that will fit with the stock belts. replacement frame rails ok. must be comfortable for long trips, more important than the latteral support but that's good to have too.

not a fan of the stock seats, they seam to pinch my back (broad) in the wrong places, poor lateral support, and not all that comfortable.

thanks!

The extra padding and non-slippery surface of Wet Okole seat cover made a big difference in my stock Z seats. Won't change lateral support (your could do the bolster flip mod) much but they do come in red and black...

I'm 6' 230lbs, only a 32 waist though. My C6Z seats are the bomb!
