Would vert seats be plug and play for a regular coupe? I've seen mixed opinions.

For what it's worth OP, I have '87 cabrio seats in my '87 is, didn't have a problem switching them over at all. Personally I prefer the stitching on cabrio seats vs regular sport seats as well.

Do you guys know if this limiter is mechanically or physically fastened? Time to bust out the angle grinder?!
EDIT: Last thread in search results says its a plastic tab, easily removed with a flathead.Last edited by Falconer; 02-01-2013, 12:15 AM.

I believe the Cabrio seats allow a little less fore and aft movement at the tracks. There is a metal plate screwed to the bottom of the sliders than can be shortened (or maybe removed totally).
I've fondled enough seat hinges and was not aware of a plastic tab that limited recline on any of them. Any one have a pic or diagram of that ?Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com
