I highly recommend C7 seats if you have the deep pockets for them. They are light years better than the C5 and C6 seats.

I swapped in aftermarket seats, but retained the lower factory frame with power.
I actually have the drivers side to do yet.
So far I haven't sorted out the trim. i have kept the c5 belts so far. But may clean that up later.
