Aftermarket seats
I was thinking of upgrading to some aftermarket seats. I'd like to go with the best, was thinking of either sparco or momo. Has anyone tried these, or is there something better?
I'm not sure if any manufacturer makes a kit to mount these into a vette, and if not, is it hard ot fabricate brackets?
Any help from the membership would be greatly appreciated. I'm on the verge of doing some major mods.... ZO6 suspension, wheels, tires and brakes, ATI supercharger with longtubes, and of course I'm gonna need the seats to hold me in there!

Re: Aftermarket seats (Billy182)
You should search the archives to be sure, but best I can remember the only seats that can really be made to fit into the C5 are the Sparco Evo and Evo2. The Evo2 will interfere with the stock seat belt bracket.
You can get a bracket that works for the Sparco's from Gary Hoffman at http://www.hardbar.net

Re: Aftermarket seats (Billy182)
I looked into this. As was posted the only thing that can currently be put in without major work is the Evo's. There are two major obstacles to overcome for any other seat. First, the anchor for the seat belt is part of the factory seat. Second, almost all seats are too wide to ft between the central tunnel and the outboard seatbelt mounting anchor.
