Default "Old Man Seats"

I'm looking to replace the seats in my 01 Camaro. I've tried the Recaro Sport and liked how they felt. Just wondering if anyone has an opinion on them. I tried the Corbeau at the same time just didn't feel as comfy. Any recommendations on a dealer for these would be helpful also.

Well I already posted on LS1tech without any response. I thought that this would be more common among the corvette owners.

I'm looking to replace the seats in my 09 FERRARI F50.
Why go to a steak resturant & ask about the fish.
Would you ask "Jiffy Lube" about transmission upgrades.
I could go on forever.........

Picking a seat is pretty subjective. You need to sit in a few and find one that is comfortable for your body shape.

Thanks for stopping by CF.

Check out Arizen seats. Lots of bang for the buck.

Ignore all the snark - there are very few seats that will fit a C5 so you're not going to get much help.

I've had Recaros in the past in another car and absolutely loved 'em. Shaped for spirited driving, very well made, and they hold up well to abuse.

Good luck
