Are these aftermarket seat really worth it?

What is the real advantage over the stock ones?

Does it grips you while you corner and also comfortable enough for daily driving?

And how would it effect on the safety, would it hold up when you get into brutal accidents?

I never sat or had one of these Bride seats....

1. they definatly hold you alot more snug
2. you get the right one and it will be comfy
3. they are safer then stock

Depends on what you are using them for.

Weight savings and lateral support for the most part. And of course looks :).

Most of them will offer more lateral grip than the stockers and some of them are also pretty comfortable, but not any more comfortable than the stock seats are.

All of their seats are just as safe as the stockers with one exception. For the fixed back seats to be safe, they need to be used with 5-point harnesses, and a roll bar. The fixed back seats aren't designed to work with stock 3-Point belts.

Yes, Gray. They look surprisingly good...

I really like the Recaro Pole Postions or similar seat. The Bride seats having all the Bride text all over them a little much for me. Good looking seat besides that though. Can't argue with the weight savings and added safety and keeping you where your supposed to be out on the twistys.

Threw one of my Zeta IIIs in the 370Z yesterday to see if the 350Z rails fit (which they didn't), but you get an idea of what they will look like in the car...

That is the Gias Sport which retails for $1450 a piece, but I can get you some for $1305 a piece.

1450 dollars to drop ~20 lbs (per seat)?

47lbs doesn't sound that heavy for a stock seat considering the motors and air bag. I think my seats will stay in for a while.
