Reply to "Seats"

Though not on the topic of THESE seats, I am still yawning from last night's extended "SEAT INSTALLATION" episode with a set of C4 seats redone by Gary Herrig.

Not exactly "plug and play" in the fitment department. They're in, and comfortable as anything. Look awesome. Couple things to check on these or others -

1. If you have a 74, your e brake has a 'ridge' on the top of the box. IT WILL make a difference in your seat clearance. Trust me.

2. Passenger seat hitting the firewall hump is a problem. You'll need to cant your seats 'inward' to make ANY clearance past the hump. My stock seats conformed to the hump okay; the Herrig seats smack it solidly. Passenger seat in my car is limited in rear travel.

3. Driver's seat is pretty good, but as noted, the 'height' of the seat bottom is critical.

4. Check the angle of your seating portion. Ideally, it should be tilted 'back' (higher in front) to both lift your legs AND get your upper body back away from the roof. Limited rake means the seat bottom angle MUST be very close to ideal to start with.

My car is indeed WAY more comfortable to drive in, no question. However, at about 11 last night, I was mentally writing the ad to sell the passenger seat. Some unpleasant words might've been uttered.
