Default Seats - Has anyone tried C-4 or C-5 seats in their C-3????

I need to change out covers and do some spring repair on my C3 (non matching numbers and a daily driver). Who has put in later model seats? Do you like them, how hard to swap, what modifications did you do?

I was curious about doing this too, but it seems that large amounts of leg and head room would be used up by the thicker seats. Interested to see what you find. :flag

I put seats from a 79 (pace car style) into my 69. I like the 79's much better, especially the access to the back area. I did have to modify the seat brackets, a little cutting and welding, to make them fit right.
