Are you fed up with a sagging seat bottom? (Just to be clear – we’re not talking about the effects of too many 4th of July hot dogs – we’re talking about that sinking feeling you get when you sit down in your C4 Corvette.) If your answer is yes – Zip can help! Get up off the floor of your C4 with a 1984-1996 Corvette Seat Bottom Cushion Support Strap Kit. Here’s what’s causing you to “sink”: Chevrolet used two different designs to support the seat bottom cushion (also called seat bottom foam) on all 1984-1996 C4 Corvettes.

The early models used a poorly designed, thin support wire that typically rusts through or cuts into the seat foam. Later C4 Corvettes made the switch to straps -a much better engineering design because they don’t rust or cut into the seat foam; however, after years of use and wear, the straps lose their tension.

The result: a sagging seat bottom that lets you sink well too far into the seat!

This strap kit replaces the thin wires on the early C4 Corvettes as an upgrade and brings your late model C4 back into factory specifications. Plus, this seat strap kit includes new front and rear retainer wires. Installation takes less than 10 minutes and one kit completes one seat. Fits all 1984-1996 Corvettes.

One great feature of the 1997-2004 C5 Corvette is the sport seat with the power lumbar feature which can be inflated to suit the driver’s or passenger’s personal level of comfort. Unfortunately, over time, the bladders fail and the comfort feature is lost. GM does offer these as replacement Corvette Parts, but at over $800 each, the price is unbearable for most C5 Corvette owners repairing or replacing their seats.

But comfort is once again within reach! Zip now carries replacement 1997-2004 Corvette Seat Bladders that are sensibly priced. In fact, you can afford to replace both without breaking the bank and once again enjoy this personalized comfort option. These bladders mount inside the seats and are controlled by the lumbar switch and will fit either left or right seats. Replacing the bladders can be accomplished at home by do-it-yourself weekend warriors or installed easily by professionals.

Update your 1968-1982 C3 with a Corvette Seat Package by Corbeau. Each package includes (2) Corbeau GTS II or A4 seats and all necessary brackets and hardware to replace your Corvette’s factory seats and tracks. Our Corbeau seats bolt directly in – without any modification. Now you can be securely held in place with custom bucket seats instead of being tossed around in your worn-out factory seats. Even new or reupholstered factory replacement seats are flat and offer very little support when racing your Corvette or turning in hard corners.

One of the most unique features with the C3 Corvette Corbeau seat package is that these Corvette Parts are custom shaved seats with significantly lowered mounting brackets and sliders to allow drivers up to 6’ tall to comfortably ride without rubbing their heads on the roof! Other brackets that supposedly “fit” set the driver up much higher in the vehicle than the factory seats did, creating an awkward riding position.

The extremely comfortable GTS II is the perfect seat for the everyday driver. This heavily padded seat features deep side and lateral bolsters providing maximum comfort and support. Standard features of the Corbeau GTS II include: high density injection molded foam, orthopedic design, adjustable headrest, and a fully adjustable seat back with a flip forward fingertip controlled lever for rear access. The GTS II will fit up to a 38″ waist. Cloth seats are available in black or gray.

The dynamic A4 Corbeau cloth seat is the perfect application for tight spaces and minimal headroom applications. Standard features include: high-density injection molded foam, ergonomic design, harness belt capability, integrated shoulder, kidney and thigh support, leatherette high wear patches, and a fully adjustable seat back with a flip forward fingertip controlled lever for rear access. The A4 is extra aggressive in the kidney area and has harder cushioning. It will fit up to a 34-36″ waist. Specify color when ordering.
