    80-1616-51L is rated 2.0 out of 5 by 1.
    Rated 2 out of 5 by from In retrospect not a good choice. The seat is advertised as being designed to address the C5 Corvette fitment problem, that is the OEM seats being narrow. Specifically the seat belt retracting unit is at the floor level taking up space and making it difficult to find an aftermarket replacement seat. Corbeau seats made a seat eliminating the reclining handle and mechanics of their seat. In this case Scat retained the ability to have the seat be adjustable but the tolerance is very close and is very difficult to get the seat positioned properly. I have had the seat in and out of my car about 12 times trying to get it correctly position to come close to the factory fitment. Anyway my seat arrived with a slice along the bottom and missing hardware (still waiting on the hardware). The slice is not noticeable. The surfaces are pretty much cheap vinyl and the back portion of the seat seems to not be tight and creaks already. There is a lot to do to make these even acceptable. Fitment wise the are narrow in the back area and I am 5'11" and 192 lbs. This is strange because the back part of the seat could have easily been made wider and probably be a much better fitment more many, many potential buyers. Go figure. I honestly can not recommend anyone to buy these except if you are a tiny, skinny mechanic who wants to spend a lot of time messing with a poorly designed, engineered and marketed seat. Jegs is a good company and I do recommend them because they have helped to lessen the blow and I do not like shipping stuff back. I like to learn by my mistakes. I would suggest to C5 Corvette owners to look to other manufacturers besides Scat at this time. I hope this is taken as constructive and they consider making changes that would result in what could be substantially improved.
