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!

the seat (along with a steering wheel) are your connection to the damn car, i wouldn't cheap out on that

i mean, its one thing to put some knockoff sway or strut bar or some superficial ****

but the seat? nah

Volk Z · 12-27-2016, 07:17 AM

That's 799 for a pair too. BUT I found them a little while ago for like 650 on carid.com or something. That's a nice looking, steel frame for a great price. Just need brackets/sliders

Don't buy fake seats unless the idea of being folded in half during an accident sounds appealing to you. The cost for "real" seats takes into account the actual R&D and crash testing that went into them in addition to the generally superior materials and craftsmanship.

Is the cost is the only way to know? Can you give some tips how to know? Thanks!

Cost is not the way to tell. I could buy fake Bride seats and sell for 4k which would not make them authentic.

1. Buy from a Bride authorized dealer. Done
2. If you buy used the owner should have receipts and if not tell them to get them for proof of authentic purchase.
3. The fake seat will not say Made in Japan.

This should help

I believe so they don't get a lawsuit they can not legally alter/make up where it was made. The fake Bride seats a couple years ago said made in Canada or Taiwan. NOT made in Japan. Find me a fake that says Made in Japan

I like the Cipher, I have one for my driver's side and don't have any issues with it other than the bracket was a pain to install due to shitty instructions. Beyond that, they're TUV approved for German roads which makes them alright in my book.

Volk Z · 01-07-2017, 10:49 AM

If you look on let's say Ebay for crappy knock offs first off I can tell from the pics on most. They do not have a quality look, sagging cloth, bride writing isn't level etc.

Also they do say made in Taiwan on the post. It says Bride-Taiwan ding ding ding. Fake

Like I said earlier buy from an authentic dealer. DONE.

Can we talk about quality seats and ditch this talk about crappy knockoffs
