I fitted a pair of buckets from a 2008 Mazda 3 Turbo/MPS.
They take a bit of work to to remove the original mounts but easy to make an adaptor to fit to the original Comaro bolt holes.

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys. I'm going to start looking imminently as I drove it for the first time last night (for any real distance anyway) and the seats feel like they want to throw you out instead of keep you in. The stock seats are HORRIBLE, more horrible than I imagined.

I second this, have them in my Chevelle. Look for 04-08 seats.

I think anything after 04 doesn't have leather. At least leather isn't an option on car-part.com when I choose an 08. Could be that it's just missing that option on Car-part but they were actually produced with them. I don't know.

I bought 04 seats for mine and they are all leather. However, I have an 05 Tiburon and it has a leather cloth combo. I'm not sure if I can link it here and if not sorry but try a website called new newtiburon and just make a post asking for seats. Good luck.

Thanks, I may give that a try. They look like nice seats and although I had a couple of leads on some, those fell through.

Still looking. Had a set of Tiburon seats sold out from under me the other day.

I have a co-worker that has a 2012 Mitsubishi EVO and I'd heard that the Recaros from them can be a pretty good deal and fit the same brackets as the Recaro "sport" model seats.... How the hell to people fit into those things!? A jockey maybe, but anyone else?

I tried to sit in the Recaros and the bottom part of the seat dug into my hip bones so bad I thought I was going to bruise.

I'm sure glad my co-worker had them so I could test them out.
