I have these seats.... I had them recovered.
They do not recline.
I took 1/2" out of each side and made them fat boy friendly. I have a 40" waist.
My upholstery work cost more than the seats but I think they came out great.

They do not recline and are a bit wider...

Seat savers are seat covers...

Lumber is a manual setup installed by Corbeau. The seat heaters are installed by them also and will be powered by a outside source from your car

The last pic is my car, im 6'1 250 ish with 40 waist, and I am fine in the seats, snug, but still way better than the stock seats, and the most big guy friendly of most of all the racing seats out there the than the big sparcos, but doubt they will fit the C5...maybe they will. I love these seats. The angle on them is fine for me did an 8 hour drive in them last year, about hour 6-7 I wanted to get out an stretch, but thats pretty normal in a vette IMO.

About 10LBs per seat and bracket.

Assume they're boxed to ship? I'd need to know weight and carton dimensions

I have some mint Evo 8 seats in my garage that I can on sell to partially offset the cost
Yes they are boxed to ship... One box would weigh 52LBs the other about 20. I will have to get the box size for you Monday
