Default Racing Seats

Took my 2004 ZO6 to Willow Springs Cal and almost flew out the door when I went around the first turn with moderate G's. Seats must go-no lateral support. The only ones I could find that were a direct bolt in replacement were from Corbeau-A4's . By time you get done with the options like leather, lumbar suport, I was out $2300. However it's worth it. Only caution is that you can't be a "big guy" and comfortably fit in the seats. I am headed on vacation so if you are still interested pictures are a week and a half away. However if you look on the Corbeau website they show the A4 seat that will fit in the C5 and the dealer near you.

Here are some more spartan seats, the Corbeau FX1s. They are fixed seats that go for under $300 apiece. These are track seats and I wouldn't try to use them for a daily driver.
