Replacement seat foam
Does anyone have input on the difference and/or quality of replacement bottom sport seat foam from DJ Motorsport ( http://www.shop.djmotorsportaccessories.com/product.sc?productId=52&categoryId=7 ) vs stock replacement ( http://www.corvetteamerica.com/cf/displaylearnmore.cfm?learnmoreid=1725&id list=880,936,782,783,671,670,1725&search dest=%2Fcf%2Flearnmorelist%2Ecfm%3Fsubca tegoryid%3DX415&subcategoryid=X415 ) from Corvette America? My driver's seat it trashed and I need to replace it. Thanks!

I replaced mine with corvette america's version. it's nice and firm. Just make sure to put something over the frames support wires before installing the new foam, or the same thing will happen. It'll be obvious when you take it apart.

When I redid my seats in the '00 I had, I bought some foam from Vette Essentials. Fair price and good quality.

I find it hard to compare the DJ to the OEM foam as I bought my car used and the seat was worn out already.
The DJ foam is great though
Be sure to add our seat kit also. http://www.shop.jwmotoring.com/produ...&categoryId=15

I am in the process of installing the DJ Motorsports Seat Foam. I plan to take some comparison shots next to the OEM foam and post them for comparison.
It is denser and has "memory foam" feel to it. I placed it on a chair and sat on it and definitely feels firmer. I was hoping they would offer a matching set for the backs (sport seats), however no such plans due to the costs of the molds, etc.
