Installing C6 seats into C5
I can't seem to find information on installing C6 seats into a C5 when I tried "search"
Anyone have any links to a post with instructions?

I have never done a C-6 to C-5 but I have installed 3 different style racing seats onto C-5 motorized tracks. It should not be to difficult you may have to drill new holes but it is a pretty siple process and 4 bolts.

All you have to do is put the C6 seats on the C5 tracks and use the C5 controls. It is a pretty straight forward install. I did it on mine last year.

There are a few write ups of the process; it's doable. Yes, even power seats lol.
