C4 seat swap
Looking at the possibility of 95 seats.
I have seen a number of older threads with C5 seats installed into a C3 but not many C4 seats in a C3.
Anyone with any experience with this swap?
Are the C4s wider than the C5's and do they sit too high (floor to top of bottom cushion).
Thanks

I am planning on putting c4 seats into mine when I install the interior. The ones I'm going to install are the earlier ones (up to 88). I think you either need to change c3 tracks to fit the seats or you can modify the seats to fit the tracks.

I had an old Ecklers catalog that says all you need is your original seat tracks and just bolt to the bottoms of the C4 seats. I was going to go that way and actually bought a pair and had them in the car loose while I finished it, but ended up with late C3 seats.

Ive never sat in stock c3 seats but I couldn't imagine them being lower than my c4 seats. The stock tracks bolt right into the seat pan and its just the lower pad on top of that.
