Default c6 seats in a c5?

Has anyone put c6 seats in a c5? I will be switching from a c6 to a c5z06 and I liked the c6 seats for the comfort. Was it an easy swap?

I know a local guy who put a set in his 98 Coupe. According to him they were an easy install. They look very good in the car. If no one responds with more detailed info on the forum about the install, I'll ask him if it is ok to forward his # to you.
Best of luck!

I put C6Z seats in my C5Z without much trouble. I bolted the C6Z seats onto my C5 seat tracks and only had to slightly modify the C6 side bezel to accomodate the C5 power controls. Very easy swap, and the C6 seats are much better IMO. Will post a pic later when I'm home.

The leather looks much tighter on the C6Z. Not sure if it's because they're newer.

This is basically how I did mine, except I didn't have the C6 bezel, so I modified the seat to accept my C5 bezel. I know some people have spliced the C6 power controls to the C5 motors, but it was just easier to use everything from the C5.
