People have been putting those seats in C5's for years, What sort of adapting is necessary that isn't already available?
In fact, the Caravaggio race seats are basically just re-skinned Roadsters.

Are they any different than these for a lot less money?

Besides these only support 4 point harnesses as there isn't any way to mount a sub strap. The ones on E Bay also look like they are only good for 4 point harnesses.
The other thing you need to be concerned about is width of the seat and the E Bay ones look like they may be too wide.
For $1K you can find some very nice seats that fit, are real racing seats and not pretenders.

seats
Thanks for the input, guess I'll just hold off & go w/ a trusted name like sparco or corbeau, just so damn expensive & Id like to go w/ real leather too. Also like the dual slots in headrest & not single, If anyone wants to post some pics of their set ups it would be much appreciated, Thanks

Corbeau has their own rails/brackets and they have specific versions for Corvettes that will bolt in. Check here
