View Full Version : any good aftermarket seats that are shorter?

Okay, I am not a short guy or anything - 6 ft - but I just don't like how tall all of these aftermarket seats are. It seems they are all about 36". And everyone's car photos show them pretty far reclined and they still nearly hit the roof of the 1st Gen Camaro.

Am I the only one who thinks this? Or are there any favorites out there that are in the 30-34" height range? I don't even require headrests quite frankly.

If not, I am considering some redone factory seats from a 60s GM car that is short, like the 64-65 Chevelle buckets.... maybe.

thanks!

Thanks, but I meant to ask about anything other than those as I have seen those and they aren't for me.

can you cut your floor pans down? That's what I had to do with my 65 mustang. Its a pain, but otherwise no aftermarket seat will look right. Also, take a look a cerullo seats. I am not that big, 5'10 175, but most of the 'racier' seats (like corbeau) were WAY too narrow across the shoulders.
Good luck!!

might try some 4th gen trans am seats and just take the head rest off. they have shorter backs and plenty of lateral support.. you could always buy some aftermarket cheap seats and cut the backs down and get them recovered.. i mean you can pick some up for 300 in summit and pay another 300 to recover them after you cut them down..

I don't know about the 4th gen f-bod seats, but my C4 vette seats are a little tall as well. I think that I'm going to take the front seat mount out so it will fit. I'm 6'3 and it is just to high.:willy:
