I can't seem to find any Fiero seats for my Formula that don't need recovering, then even if I do find some most people don't want to make the effort to ship them.
Sooooo, I am looking for alternatives. I need something as close to orignal as possible in the areas of seat height and leg room. (I am very tall, 6' 4")Don't need any options on them other than I would need them to recline. Please, any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.......

Fiero seats are a bit on the small side so most everything else fills up the space from door to console a bit more. Also you may find that the bottom cushion on most is thicker (less headroom) and longer (hit your thigh at a different spot). Most small -> midsize GM will fit in and look good but you might want to try before you buy.

The standard seats are not hard to re-cover and there always seem to be lots of folks selling covers. The seat backs/ cushions can be swapped with a bit of effort and you'll have a nice set of stock seats.

I find the Fiero seats VERY comfortable and even after a long drive don't have a sore back as I usually do.

Don't get me wrong I have no prob. with the seats either. And was thinking of recovering them with some of Mr. Mikes but the seat foam (cushions are worn also). I have a 96 Cavalier anyone tried these seats ?

As I understand, Rockcrawl has a bunch of seats. I don't remember the link to his website, but you could look him up in the members list and email him.
