There is no adjustable lumbar or anything on these. The seats in general are pretty comfortable (and I am a big guy lol), however I will say after 2/3/4 hours in the car your **** does tend to get a little sore (long backroad drives) otherwise the comfort is good even after almost a year of driving with them.
Braum Elite looks nicer and are a little bit cheaper Than the Corbeau. I’m driving myself crazy going between them.

Maybe not. I've never ridden in a C6 before but have seen quite a few C5's with C6 seats. They definitely have more padding than Corbeaus, though.
I looked hard at the Evo-x seats but don't think they would be very comfortable, on long trips. That's important to me, may not be to others.
FWIW, I'm 5'8" 205lbs, with 36" waist & 30" inseam. 66yrs old.

I think so. One of our members here lives about two hours from me so before I spend any money, I'm going to go check out his Braum seats.
edit: sorry about the thread hijack, Sean. As you can tell, I really like the seats in your Z06.

yeah we are about the same size.…after driving myself crazy between the corbeau evolution x and these braums…I decided to go with the corbeau’s. I like the brackets better, the fact that they drop right in to the Vette with no issues, and the extra lumbar support. I got the seats w/lumbar on both and brackets for $1192 shipped to my door from Racing Seats USA. Which is only a couple of bucks over the Braums. We will see…
