I removed my seats and worked on the bottom cushion to firm it up. I have some photos but they won't help you much.

The seats are pretty easy to figure out how to disassemble once you get them out of the car.

I did my C5 seats using this from Vette Essentials..You will probably be able to adapt to C6 seats..If you have a warm room, I would install there. Lay the skins in the sun to warm up and they will go on easier.

Funny you mention the bottom cushion. I can hear the springs when i lower my seat all the way. I will do something in the fall to correct this. Probably what you did on yours.
Thanks

Why wait? Only takes a hour or 2 to do the fix. Don't wait.
