I have a 2007 Z51 coupe with 19000 miles on it 3lt.
Seats are dual power . But i think about today with about 175 miles home trip from Hot Springs car show. They were rather uncomfortable.

I have heard that later model c6'6 had better seats. By that do ppl mean more comfortable or just more bolster's for track?

If its comfort what years do they get to be the best? Also any 1 know what a set would cost used?

APSIS makes a model Super deluxe that really looks comfortable but i sure as hell don't want to spend like 5500 dollars for a set.

Oh got lucky in Hot Springs and took home the trophy for 1st place in c6 coupes

So fill me in guys need all the info i can get.

The year they changed seats was in 2012. I've never sat in them, but they look a hell of a lot nicer. I heard you can "convert" pre 2012 seats, but I'm unsure of the cost.

Congrats on the trophy!

I am interested in this too. Are they more comfortable? They definitely look better. Surprising GM only made them for the last two years though.

I agree with apsis. Damn they are nice, but almost 3k each is ridiculous.

The 2012 and later seats are way more comfortable. the last time I looked on the Cultrag GM Parts site and the 2012 foam and skins were about $1300 or so plus install if you can't do it yourself. They are available in several combos and logo choice. Great upgrade but a little pricey.
