Braum Elite seats fixed or recliner
I have read as many threads that I can find on seats in the C5, I really like the Braum Elite X and realize I’ll have to do a C6 conversion with the adjustable seats because the the C5 mechanism is in the way. I am 6”3 and run my seat all the way back and fully reclined, which is not much since I’m aginst the back wall. I am wondering how the non recliner version of the seat would work, if it would require seat belt mod and if the fixed position is nutral.

My opinion as a guy who has the Elite X seats...youre too tall to be comfortable. At 5' 9" they're perfect for me but if I was 6' plus I think they would be horribly cramped. Comfort is obviously ssubjective so you may not really know until you try.
The upside is they are 100 times more comfortable to sit in than the marshmallow seats.

Check out Marrad industries seat options. I’d start with looking at his stock seat conversion. It’s a bit spendy but putting in an aftermarket seat will run more money and more headaches. Marrad also has a fixed back seat that accommodates the C5 stock seat belt. I used the ultra low seat mount bracket and it gave me almost another inch headroom. Owner Mark is really helpful. If you are 6’3”, you need help from a knowledgeable guy like Mark.Last edited by Bossdog; 01-27-2019 at 09:26 PM.

The Elite or the Elite X? One is slightly smaller than the other. The Elite is just a touch smaller in height but a touch longer in seat. I am confused on which one to get but I do think I want the fixed back style.
