I may go that route. But if it’s 650$ plus 320$ for buddy clubs. 980$ for 19lbs not really worth it. I can mentally justify 10lbs for 200$ ratio. But beyond that idk. That’s why I made this thread to see if I can get adjustable recliners for under a rack total with a 10-200 ratio.

Very tedious trying to find every aftermarket seat weights as most aren’t listed on the website and you got to do some searching.
Yeah I have a pair of reclining braums in my C5 they are not bad. I was scared with a fixed back that there wouldn't be enough adjustablilty. Weight reduction wasn't my main goal with the C5, Support was.


However I wish I did go with a fixed back im loving my NRG seats in the 86. Once you get your seat position right its always perfect. I did buddy club rails on the passenger side for taller passengers to have adjustment. Fixed mount on drivers side gives me a good excuse to not let my friends drive

For you Braum seats plust buddy club sliders are only going to save 7-10lbs per seat. You have to ask yourself if $1000 is worth 17lbs. I think it is considering you cant save that much with a $1000+ hood or trunk.
