Default C5 Seats in a C4

I am planning on re-doing my interior. I think I have heard that you can put C-5 seats in a C-4 with a couple of modifications. Is this so and what do I need to do? :confused:

I don't think they will fit, Any seats even an inch wider than stock will not fit. I've went through the seat replacement saga :D

Interesting question. I just went from a C4 to a C5 and my wife prefers the C4 seats for comfort :rolleyes:

the c4 seats are also my choice, have you sat in a c5 long? there's no side support & they don't wrap you in like the c4 sport seat. even the z06 seats aren't as good in my oppinion & i've rode in one quite a few times. the one aftermarket seat i really do like in the c4 is the sparco torino..awesome looking seat and the do fit

get 94-96 sport seats.

IMO the C5 seats are even worse then the already shoddy GM quality C4 seats. I'd even take the c4 quality leather over the c5 leather. Late C4 seats look quite close to the C5 sport seat design and cost less/dont require modifications
