Default Braum seats

Wondering if anyone has experience with Braum seats in a C5? They’ve got a few different models I really like. I think I’ve settled on the winter project being the interior. Seats and likely a new steering wheel set up.

Ooohh, looks niiicce. I'm a fan of two tone setups. Like the bolstering, I trust they work well.

absolutely, i chose these over the Corboos, because of the seat bolstering, much the same on the seat back, but much different on seat cushion.

Why does this need to be done? What's different about the C6 belts? And what's wrong with using the C5 belts?

the retractors.. on C5 down on the door sill, C6 up on the wall, no room for the c5 retractors on the sill. plastic fascia needs to be trimme to allow the seats
and c6 belts to fit properly

I think that's mighty interesting! I knew there was some problem with the system setup, just no details.
