Seriously, a decent pair of seats isn't THAT expensive. You can get a pair of entry level Sparcos, brackets and sliders for under $1200 all in, so why would you ever f*ck around with some cheesy eBay seats?

personally i wouldn't trust anything that isn't FIA approved regardless of manufacturer. this pretty much eliminates any reclining seat from being safe. some might fair better than others

Bride Seat Crash Test

Spring/Summer I run a Zeta III Type L. Even with the Type L(arge) I barely fit with a 32waist. I am fortunate to have narrow hips I guess. The shoulder bolster puts some pressure on the upper part of the door panel.

For colder months (i.e. when I don't have events that require a helmet) I run stock touring. The seat warmer sure is nice on those colder days.

Beautiful seat man! Love the Japan edition seats

For those who have status seats. I'm having a hard time deciding between the leather and ultra suede. I don't track my Z, but I prefer a little more of function over looks. I'm assuming the suede prevents you from sliding around in the seat more?

cant go wrong with cloth status seats, leather gets too hot, suede gets too dirty

James10694 · 04-25-2017, 01:33 AM

Ive asked a few people now and that seems to be the consensus. I also live in vegas so getting leather would probably be a mistake. Thanks for the advice.

Remember suede looks and feels great when it's new, however it is going to wear down and lose it's appeal in time.

We are a Bride Japan Dealer. What kind of seat are you looking for?

ChaseZ · 04-25-2017, 08:49 PM

Anyone try mounting Evo X Recaros in the Z?

cloudofevil · 05-03-2017, 02:48 PM

Any decent side mount reclining seats that are cheaper than Bride?

With most fixed back seats the bolts go into the side. With most reclining seats they're mounted underneath the seat which to my knowledge is impossible to sit lower than stock seats. I'm trying to find a way to sit lower in the car but still be comfortable enough for a daily driver.

The first question is how tall are you because a seat bracket and rail will raise the height of the seat. I Wedge Engineering seat bracket that the seat is fixed to, no slider. At 6'1" my helmet hits the top of the roof with the slider. I no issues with fixed seat on the bracket.
