Default I hate my seats..help!

If I were to complain about my Vette (09 C6 Z51) it is the seats...Very poor for any use..not to mention tracking (roadcourse).

Is there any seats that are easy to install that can replace the stock seat and be good for both daily and tracking!!

Thanks

I hear you on this one, I found it only get worse as the padding gets broken in. I now feel like I'm slipping out of the seat all the time. After long drives I also get quite stiff........I'm 24 and in great shape , never had a problem with any other seat.

Corbeau makes brackets to adapt a lot of their seats to the C6.

If you don't find anything, consider going semi custom. Look for automobile seats and interiors shops in your area on google. They can change the padding and covers on the existing frames.

I have viper seats in mine and they are the best I have owned. I have had a track corbeau before and would not recommend corbeau for daily driving. Their seats are great for the price but they wear out pretty quick.

Maybe you need the 1lt seats from the base car.
I like them after 27k miles! The z-51 seats I didn't like as well on the test drive!
