Bride Vios 3
 
Hey guys
recently snagged the last set of vios 3's from evasive

I'm 5'9 180 pounds, waste size is a 34, would i fit comfortably in these seats?

These are fixed back racing buckets so comfort will always be a relative term. I have the same seats in my car and being 6'1", 36" waist, and ~220lbs, they're just a bit snug but nothing too bad. You should be ok just don't plan on any long roadtrips.

You should not buy any seat without sitting in it first

Think about what a seat does

its the only damn thing holding you in place

you will be spending time in it to and front and on the track

they cost $1000 or more (more, after rails and mounts)

Drive to LOT USA or Evasive Motorsports, they're each less than an hour from Woodland hills

also test out the Recaro SPG

:iagree::iagree: It's like buying a pair of shoes. You wear a size 10 and try on a size 8. It's going to feel ok for about 5min while you are in the store. Take your time and like O is saying, spend some time in each of the seats you are considering.

call LOT USA, the official distributor

they are the source of all the seats in the US so they gotta have **** lying around

...

wait did you already buy the VIOS? why the **** did you buy a seat without sitting in in first?

I have the same seat. I'm 5'9" and was 187lbs at my heaviest with a 34" waist. It's a snug fit at that size but not unbearable. They are noticeably more comfortable at 160lbs and 32" waist.

um because im stupid....havent you noticed this about me?!?! no but really what happened was I just discovered that bride was going into series 4 and that the vios had just been discontinued...i was open to the zeta 3 and zieg 3 as well, but there was none by the time i wanted. So my only option was vios 3 or zieg/zeta 4 with the brides, which are super ugly if you havent seen them


I will call LOT right now, thank you!!!!!

If u are buying from evasive and evasive is within driving distance...how are h not able to test fit?

U are acting like shadow85 just dumping money without thought

I wouldnt spend another dime without putting alot more
time into this

Zeta and zieg 3 are discontinued. They are on type 4 now. Only the zieg has an xL version so far but their release schedule does list XL zeta in the future, no eta

Recaro spg has an XL version.

All of these should be test fit

If u cant find the exact seat at least test fit what u can and compare measurements. But the seat is literally holding u in place while ur moving its pretty important

Im a 6 ft fat dude. Although the spl XL fit me the harness holes were too low so the strap could not be mounted safely - this is another concern if u are tall. The holes must sit ABOVE your shoulders or else the harness will just paralyze u when u crash

I’m only 5’9 so i guess we’ll see...they’re not at evasive yet they’re on the way and they didn’t have any there!! Also due to the virus they were really closed off and trying to get everyone out ASAP

Maybe LOT will let me, i Have to call them in the morning! Did you end up getting seats?

OptionZero 07-22-2020 11:44 PM

Sparco evo 2 qrt
Fat boy seat

Good thing you snatched these up because the next-generation lineup of Bride seats is looking hideous...
