Re: C5 seats (dreamn2)
Well??????? What are the details? Are they still on C5 tracks? Are they power? What did you do to mount them? How much higher do they sit vs original seats?
I have a set of C5 power seats and don't plan on installing until I have the body off and can cut and rebuild the floorboards accordingly.

Re: C5 seats (Todbo)
The seats are still on C5 tracks. I cut the "curl" off the front of the tracks and redrilled the floorpan. The holes actually were only about an inch or 2 off from originals and ended up in the reinforcement plates. They are six way power w/lumbar. The motors fit fine due to the original recess in the floorpan. I left the original bolt flange on the back of the C5 tracks to bolt down the backs and used the hole closest to the front in the tracks to do the front and used carriage bolts. The only problem I'm having is bypassing the Memory module for the drivers seat. Passenger seat works great. I'm 6'1" andto me the ride height is great. It's a convertible and I still have at least 3-4" clearance with the top up. They are far more comfortable and the look of the seatbacks sitting just above the rear deck just looks great to me. Hope this helps! If ican figure out how to post pics on here I'll post a couple of my car with the seats installed.
