Nope -- C3s did though. Maybe Sierra Denali's too? Oh -- duh -- maybe Avalanche too (although mine is the same color as the SSS)

anybody made the swap to leathers then? Just wondering if I'm the only one who felt a significant difference between the cloth and leathers.

Thanks for the helpful post Erik. I have what GM calls neutral brown, which isnt a **** brown but the lightest brown color interior GM made but it seems to be hard to find also. My clothe seats are still going strong with 180K on them so I have plenty of time to find some.

Agrief, the main thing I noticed about the SSS seats was the added side bolstering not so much the difference in feel of the material. Would be nice to have during some "performance" driving.

If you are just wanting the better seat material katskins for front buckets can be had for ~450 and are even better material then OEM stuff.

I'm actually more curious on what would entail swapping the decent manual cloth buckets to the power SS seats... Would it be a simple pigtail harness and a fuse or something?

Anyone know?

im pretty sure you would need a new body harness.... you may also either need a reprogrammed body control module, or a different one... if i rememebr corrctly the seats have their own modules too, and youlle have to possibly get different door panels, and switches to control which driver it is programmed to... also to control the heated seats that i believe most of them came with sorry guys this is not fact but i do believe it would be about what is required.





dont mean to be the bearer of bad news

no such thing as bad info, that kinda stuff would be good to know before someone buys big dollar seats and can't make 'em work

If that is actually all that's required that is...

Ahhh, I hear ya, so even if I added the nicer material on my seats, it still won't feel the same, probably a little different stiffness too if it's like that. I would think just getting 12V to the power module would allow you to get the power seats to work, no? I don't need to have memory seats, I just need to be able to get the seat to move.
