Install C6 seats on Power C6 rails-requires some wiring work

Install C6 seats on Manual C5 rails, which is what I did:
There are lots of seat threads on the forum...here is one:

Using C5 rails is, in my opinion the option to go with.
Original poster: If you really want to do the seat swap, it's not hard to find seats. The for sale section of the forum, E-bay, etc. There are always ways to get the seats. I wanted them upgraded so I bought 2007 Z06 seats, the foam and leather upgrade from leatherseats.com (12-13) and went from there.

I'm not 100% sure. Could be that some C6 seats have more functions and you want them all to work?

I found seats local. Just making sure I can use them. Don't want to butcher them to remove the tracks.

Remember-if you plan to use stock, power, C6 tracks there will be wiring that is necessary. That's why I went with manual tracks. It was just simpler and I never move my seat anyway.
Good Luck.
