Sagging front Seats what to do???

Chevyguy · 02-05-2001, 11:24 AM

Has anyone figured out how to fix those pesky sagging front bucket seats yet?? By the time my 91 was stolen at only 25,000 miles the seatbacks had already started to bend backwards, so I figure getting nice ones from a wreck will not really do the trick. MY 90 is the last year for the base model interior and the drivers seat is bent back good. I am a big guy and will want to fix that soon. Any leads on good donor cars, or ways to stiffen up those factory seats??????

I just put seats from a 95 GT in my 86. They bolted right in, just hook the wiring harnes from the driver's seat to +12V and ground. My wife refused to drive the car before I put the seats in (which maybe wasn't such a bad thing), now she loves it.

Try Diversified Products. They are usually in 5.0 magazine. I read a tech article where a guy put those seats in his car and he got them for $400 (pr) from Diversified. I think it was on Fordmuscle.
