I would like to put different seats in the C5. I like the Sparco Fighter ones. I would like to put a harness bar and "street" 4 point harness.
Any help with info on installation, brackets, mounting, necessary mods etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Please post any pictures with similar setups.
TIA

you won't have a hard time finding pics or mounting brackets

one thing i will tell you

sit in the seats you are considering buying

for fixed back race seats i have never sat in a more comfortable or body correct seat than the recaro pole position

cobra, corbeau and sparco all make their own versions but none feel as good to my body

since you will have to live with them sit in as many as you can

I had Sparcos when I wrapped my last Vette around a pole about ten years ago. Altho I broke my neck in two places and rearanged my anatomy pretty good, they saved my life.
Recaros are really sweet and probably the best, but I don't want to trade a kidney for new seats.
