What seats?

[F34R]

So I am looking for some seats in my build. I have come down to 3 brands, I am looking for support and a nice comfy seat =) And to be honest I LOVE the Bride Gias.

Thoughts and option if you own any of them!

Bride(leaning more at this one, CF seat with amazing padding)

Also found these, cheaper by 500 because not made of CF. But I will not notice the little gain with fiberglass.

Anything but bride - they arent even fia rated. They are absolute crap seats. I can show crash test that back this up

Bride rocks brah. And OP, I'd still go the Sparco though, unless you need to be able to recline the seat and/or can find the fixed back Bride.

I'd like to see this too, considering he appears to restore Recaro's...

dude, come on. fixed back wont be comfy.
a bucket, will not be comfy.

[F34R]

I am not getting a fixed back, reclining only. And yes the sparco I linked is a fixed.

I REALLY want recaros but no one is selling and new they are close to 1k each. Fucking BS for a name.

I was not aware we were looking for comfort in race seats. I like mine because they hold me in place.

This is a daily car that will see large amounts of tracking. What about these?

Same here, which is probably why my back hurts like a mofo after a long drive... Those look pretty good, look pretty snug and padded also.

Agreed, and I have a MINT sport in card that I can use as my passenger seat. I just posted on NASIOC for seats. Maybe I can get some stock STi recaros or something. Buddy of mine has an STi and those seats are so nice!

I bought a bride the ergoII I beleive. I actualy enjoyed the seat. Though they are for thinner people. I wear a 34 waist and I had to break in the seat a lil bit. So my hips were sore for the first few while. I like the recaros I havea friend that has this seat and they are not bad http://store.vacmotorsports.com/reca...eat-p2449.aspx
The Bride had larger bolsters and suports better though. The thing with the bride is they are wide and they are a bottom mount seat well mine is. Not sure about the gias. So I had to get creative with mounting it.

You say you will be able to tell the difference between a fiberglass and a carbon seat. Stock STi seats are heavy, why do you want them if you seem to be keen on weight savings?

I looked at their seats and then looked up specs. They are no longer on the list, but I am still thinking more people on the subie forum would have recaros than here. Here is to hoping...

Personally i would suggest OMP's - For those that dont know bride started out ripping off recaros, their fabric is shit, build quality is shit, and arent even fia rated. We do general upholstery but specialize in older recaros and honestly im not even a fan of recaros new seats quality wise. I have had a few sets of brides here and can tell you that you might as well spend your money on cheap ebay knock off seats if you are just going for cool look scene points. Check these out..
