Want new Seats

Has anyone changed out their seats for newer Corvette or Recaro ?
If so, what ones did you change to and how difficult was it to install?
My friend and I are looking to upgrade his 1970 Coupe.

I rode in a '71 with Pontiac Fiero seats.  Looked great but as he admitted they sit much higher up. I like sitting down in. I'd look for some 79-82's

Did this conversion in all my c-3's

Hi guys... Now you have me thinking about my uncomfortable seats in my 81 (driver is power) Anyone know of a good seat with a higher back and maybe more padding?? its great for 100 miles but any longer and i have to hit the advil after!!!!!!!

I've used "Master Caster Lumbar cushions" for 25 years in my '81, 3 minivans & 2 Accords.  I googled it and see only silver is available now.  Used to do red, black & tan which matched all my vehicles.

i also googled it and it looks interesting. I found others at amazon also, I hate too many choices!!!!!

I was told that 82-86 Fiero seats are a good swap and comfortable than the earlier c3 seats 

You jogged my memory.  It was Fiero seats I sat in last week.  They were comfy but sat much higher.  The owner said the upholstery shop could not get them lower in the car. If you are 6 ft tall you'll have an inch or two max above your head.

I did put C5 seats in my 74 convertible. Like John said about the others, they sit much higher. I bought an extra set of C3 tracks and created a template on plywood for the holes, then lined up the C5 seats and put the tracks on them (had to tap a couple of new holes). Overall, a pretty simple process.
