i drive my car every day, sometimes long distances and the factory seats just arent cutting it, does anyone know what seats will bolt in with minimal mods but also look fairly stock. i am looking for something that reclines and has higher bolsters, a more racey type seat similar to a new camaro or mustang seat, but at the same time i also want to use stock interior to upholster with, please help!!

easy bolt in? Not sure...

But I have seen quite a few cars (strret rods, Camaros, Corvairs, etc) with mid-90's Pontiac Grand Am buckets (I think it was Grand Am)...

Clothe covered, and have a "similar" size and shape to some classic GM seats, and I have seen people remove the headrest for a "low back" look...

I am going to buy these from summit. OPG also carries the same seats and brackets but they are more expensive than Summit for the same seats and brackets. The seats and brackets delivered to my house are $619.00 thats a good price for brand new seats in my opinion compared to the price of factory correct ones.The web sight is Summit Racing, and the part numbers for the seats are sca-80-1300-51L for left and sca-80-1300-51R for right side. The bracket numbers are sca-81704 Drivers side and sca-81705 for passengers side. Hope this helps.
