Drove w/ them from MA to NC (15-17 hour drive). I didn't have any problems, but I wouldn't say they are super comfy either.

Status update - I've had the BRAUM seats in my car for about several months now. Boy, are they uncomfortable. I think I might take them to an upholstery shop and add some much-needed cushion in the back/butt area. Either that or just sell them and get some status seats or something. They still look sweet though lol

The real test will be the 4-5 hour drive down to Ocean City Maryland from NJ. Wish me luck :driving:

I had the status ring GT and loved them. I have Bride right now because I wanted a reclinable seat

My old STI was sponsored by Status Racing so i had the GT-X seats for about 2 years. They're nice to look at, and they kept you in place, but like mag_black said, they aren't super comfortable. They're fine for short drives, but if you have to daily it and rack up miles, I wouldn't reccommend them, especially if you go with fixed seats.

I've had the Bride X Cusco Zeta III's for a year now and they are still comfy. Much better than stock seats >>Once you are in them<<.
No pressure points like the stocks had.
I do have a more developed lower back though, so that may have been giving me more pressure there with the stocks. The Zeta's on the other hand are shaped perfectly to match.

Any of you guys have input on Braum seats? Im interested in the burgundy set but Im not very educated when it comes to pros and cons of seats and what kind of features I should look for. Daily driving for more comfort and aesthetics.

Exactly. If I could do it again, I would get reclinable (SPA) or some Brides. I had the GTX as well and it's narrow on my shoulders so I have to drive around like a hunchback, also needed to lose some weight to fit in them.

tonythetiger 10-03-2016 02:47 PM

running on status seats for awhile, pretty comfortable for a bucket seat however i find stock seats tend to be really comfortable. I might switch over to bride, prefer adjustable seats rather than buckets since its street use as well

justsomeguy 10-18-2016 11:40 AM

Anyone here who has the Sparco Fighter seats, can they give me a review about how they feel about them as far as daily driving goes? Is it uncomfortable etc?

Widdzz 10-19-2016 09:58 AM

None you would want to be sitting in during an accident. If it's not FIA rated, you may get seriously hurt in an accident that you would have walked away from in the stock seat.

Widdzz 10-19-2016 12:02 PM

Hmm what about without the hardware, just seats. I'm 5'9 140 lbs so small seats work great

Should be in the tech area.. but just curious of how some if you eliminated the SRS light. I know theres something around about a resistor.. are there any plug and play applications?

There are not.

DarkJak 10-31-2016 03:43 PM

If I weren't so lazy, I'd buy a bunch of resistors and try to make plugs that would trick the car. I'm fairly certain the car uses simple checks on resistances to see if there's something there and what state it's in, for both the weight sensor and the airbag. Could probably even make a little bit with a switch on the passenger side to toggle between loaded and unloaded states.
Furthest I've gotten was buying the necessary resistors though. And those are sitting in a little baggie on my windowsill to this day. (it's been a year now).

Much cutting down and welding was needed to get the seat as low down as possible. I feel it still sits a little high but there is not getting it lower and I wanted to keep the sliding rails.

I have a Sparco Evo II US and Wedge Engineering bracket. I had to get rid of the slider and mount it directly to bracket to get it low enough for my 6'1" frame! No one else drives the car so I don't care about the slider!

You know, I might consider doing the same and taking out the slider. It would be nice to sit an inch lower..

King 12-07-2016 01:33 PM

Does anyone have figment information on the Braum and the Cipher Auto seats?

I'm 6'-3, and can't exactly have a seat that sits higher than stock.

Hotrodz 12-07-2016 10:16 PM

I was in SoCal and stopped in at Sube Sports and asked what would be a good seat for a guy that is 6'6" as my brother is building a car and in need of race seats. He said try the SUZUKA PRO-FIT GT as they have a tall back and are suited for taller drivers. I took a seat and he was right nice a comfortable too. They also come with a number of different size cushions as well. Regardless at your height you will not be able to use slider especially if you need to wear a helmet for tracking.

Volk Z 12-25-2016 06:49 PM

I'm going to be ordering a set of Bride Stradia BUT I'm trying to determine if I want Low Max or regular... it is just the cushion right? So if I got the low max and it was too low I could swap?

I roll with my Nismo Recaros all the way dropped with the side dial that allows for height adjustment. I am only 5'9 but seem to have a long torso.

Any Bride guys with Recommendations I don't like seats up high but since I'm not super tall I don't want to be laying on the ground...

Wonka2581 12-26-2016 01:09 AM

Can someone please give me some info on Bride seats?

What's the deal with them, real seats are expensive and the reps are cheap. The reps say they are licensed through Bride and are built the same minus the different carbon fiber / Kevlar shell.

Is there a downside to the reps? Such as the manufacturing process ?

Darkchrix 12-26-2016 01:45 PM

Those aftermarkets seats fit bolt on or you neend to buy rails ?

Don't buy replicas, if you want acheaper nice seat get Cypher auto. They use a legit steel frame and are built in theU.S I believe.

Bride knock offs are not made through Bride, the internals are probably really cheap and could snap in a collision.

This is what I want to know. How are the internals compared to the real ones.

OptionZero 12-26-2016 07:25 PM

Lol who the **** told you the replicas are licensed thru bride?

They are made inlike Canada and China they are NOT licensed through Bride. I wouldn't even think of putting that crap in my car. It's like all therotas that snap and Volk never have cracking issues. Forged vs crap.

Buy Corebau or Cypher if you want. Cheaper seats that are still decent quality.

Can we talk about real Brides please!

I agree I had Cypher seats on my 07 hrZ and I loved them. Quality is great and frame brackets were great quality it was a breeze to install. I had cloth with the middle an a synethic alcantara, really comfortable and holds you in place.
