Have to hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands on the corners. What was GM THINKING? The low-back buckets these replaced were almost flat, but wider. I have a pair of those that will go in this car. I'll miss the Lear buckets I modified and installed in the 68 I just gave to my kid (gonna miss the car too).

Those tan seats are a little better than the corvair seats, but they're still pretty flat. I setup a momo racing bucket for my STS Civic Si. Tire swap/seat swap and she's ready for the weekend. Most people would consider the stock Si seats to have plenty of lateral support. But if you've driven in a Kirky or other race seat there's a huge difference. I just ran the stock seat belt because the car doesn't have a cage for a 5 point.
