Default Seats for a 2nd Gen????

Well I'm trying to get finalize my seats for my Camaro. Looking for something more on the OE side? Maybe even with the belts built in? I still want them to be snug but its a street car first not a race car. So anyone got any good ideas? I've spent hrs looking over other projects and eBay and Craigslist just trying to find something that will look good in the car. I'm still using my back seat so they need to recline.

Please show me what you are using or maybe plan to use??

Rick,
I have a 22 year old version of this seat fabric covered and it is VERY comfortable. https://www.recaro-automotive.com/us...pecialist.html



Easy in and out, great lateral support, and on 100-200 mile trips they're so comfortable I don't even squirm around once, and with a surgically repaired back I can't say that about most "nicer" OEM seats.

Nice seats they look good as well! The issue I have with the fourth gen seats is most that are for sale are junks so then I need to completely rebuild them not just recover them.

I used the Procar Rally seats with the smooth back option. I like the look a lot. They are also comfortable for daily driving and give decent lateral support on the track.

Just checked those out, they seem nice. How's the quality of the seats? The pictures on their site look a little cheesy?? I know it's just pictures, got any of yours in the car?

Yes I had to get another set also. The frames were in pod shape the 1 st time . Luck for me a friend has a salvage yard. So the pick was free. Good luck with the camaro.
