APC seats??hambone3441 03-15-2006, 05:02 PM Will these work in the fourth gens?? http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?Ntt=apc&searchinresults=false&Ntk=KeywordSearch&DDS=1&N=115&target=egnsearch.asp anyone have any experiences with them ie install, fit, overall thoughts? Thanks Rob Camarocracy 03-15-2006, 05:36 PM Look for seats that have an actual lever to recline the seats instead of the turn-knob. You will also need a set of brackets to install the seats into your car. Fbody1 03-15-2006, 06:50 PM I have some that are like those, I had to make my own brackets( mine has universal tracks) ,they look nice ,if i got another set i would get the kind with the lever to tilt forward(mine dont have one) but overall i am happy with them,plus the 4 point harness ( for street) keeps your but planted where it should stay Camarocracy 03-16-2006, 12:17 AM Corbeau makes brackets for the Camaro, and so does Sparco. http://www.racing-seats-usa.com/racing-seats-car-brackets.html IF you have the money, I would get some better quality seats, such as Corbeau or Sparco. revtime 03-16-2006, 01:01 AM You can install almost any seat in a 4th gen IF you make your own brackets. I have a Jegs GS-1 installed in my 94 but I had to weld up some brackets. Compstall 03-19-2006, 12:20 AM no they wont work, and no they dont even make brackets for camaros so dont bother. Hang on a sec..... I have a set. Passenger side is in, haven't had a whole lot of time to dedicate to the driver's side. I'm using the stock frame sliders. Driver's side slider is different from the passenger side. Have to get creative with the shims/brackets to make them fit. I bought a large sheet of 3/16" steel and have been cutting brackets/shims out of it. Bought some hardware at Lowe's to mount it up. Opinion: Don't care too much for the knob style recline mechanism, but at least they DO recline. Frames seem pretty decent. I'm not sure on the quality of material used, but we'll see over time how well it holds up. Can't beat the price. I got mine over X-mas when they were offering free shipping at Jeg's. Camarocracy 03-19-2006, 12:43 AM Sparco seats will "bolt-in" with no mods needed other then their seat brackets. But their seats are EXPENSIVE, about $500 each. But they are top quality seats. Compstall 03-19-2006, 12:44 AM Nope, it's not a 20 minute job that's for sure. But I haven't modified the seats or frame sliders, only made the brackets and shims to fit. | ||
