Ive had 2 sets of Braum seats and they have been my favorite aftermarket seat that Ive owned thus far. Others Im comparing them to include Corbeau A4, Corbeau CR1, and Bride Low Max reps.

My old set of Braum were the reclinable Advan series in the 'carbon look' leatherette.

My new set is the fixed back VENOM-R.

Both Braum seats have been the most comfortable on long drives. I would say after about 5 hours in the Braums I am ready to get out of the car. Other than that, they are a pretty snug fit so they hold you in place really well. First pic is of the Corbeau and Braum Advan. Second pic is the VENOM-R.

 

5 hours is pretty reasonable time! Did you notice much of a difference among the two braum seats?

 

Both were comfortable, but I surprisingly think the fixed back is more comfortable. I think its possible its more comfortable simply because its cloth.

And the fixed back is at a perfect angle in the Z, I feel no need to ever want to recline more/less. But, I wouldn't want the fixed back on the passenger side. In a perfect world, Id say get the fixed back for driver side and reclinable for the passenger if you dont mind them not matching
