C7 seat replacement
Hey guys,
can someone please use the search better than me and help me figure out what seats would be a direct replacement in the corvette c7? The bolsters for the thighs are too rigid and I really dislike the c7 seats, I love the Camaro seats but they don’t seem to bolt up. I’d like to keep power and heated cooled, but I also would be fine giving them up for a replacement that’s a bit more comfy.
thanks!

I really do not have any issues with how my C7 seats feel, but am interested in the memory foam cushion mentioned above just for general knowledge of options should that comfortable feeling disappear at some point.

Appreciate the info and may be willing to try that, based on your comment, but Amazon is way too big to look for a "memory foam cushion" that may or may not be the same. Gotta source, website, better description, part number, or anything to help narrow the search?

You do have to realize that after 23 years of lousy seats brought to Corvette owners after broad butt C4 owners complained about the early C4 seats (which had great lateral support) we finally after a lot of enthusiast complaints got much better seats in the C7. The C7 seats still don't provide the lateral support the early C4 seats did but they provide a lot more than the late C4, C5 and C6 seats did. I don't need to replace my seat to go on track since the seat actually does quite well in holding me in the car. The only downside that I have with the seat is the same seat bottom side bolsters you are complaining about aren't higher so the seat would cup the butt better. We really don't need to go back to the big butt flat seat era. A sports car that can pull close to 1.5 Gs in a corner needs a seat that holds the occupant in place Vs letting them slide all over the place.
