I have done this to mine. I purchased some sport seats from a 91. There isn't much modification to make them bolt to your existing mounts. I originally was going the C5 seat route, but found the price of the C4 about half the cost, so I gave them a shot and am happy with the look. I will post a pic of them even though it is a work in progress.
Forgive the mess.

Would love to see the pics of this. I have searched the forum and found a ton of great info and C4 seats installed in a C2 but having a hard time finding pics of actual C4 seats installed in a C3. I have found a set out of an 86 for $80 and I'm thinking about making the switch for my 72 but have read a few comments that people think they are too tall which is why I'm looking for some pics.
Thanks in advance for the help...

Sorry, it's the only pic I have and the car is currently disassembled. The power motors will not fit. I bolted the seats to the C3 tracks and they still sat high. At 5'10" I just barely fit in the car and my legs were very close to the steering wheel.
I then modified the C3 tracks and lowered them. Basically cut out a slice of the bracket that bolts to the floor and welded it back together. After than they sit at the same hight as stock.
