bride cuz its one of the best
my second would be tie between recaro and sparco

01-23-2004, 11:34 AM
I like bride seats the one in dousan's car is very comfortable.
A close second would be recaro's. I dont like sparco to much i used to have a pair in my rex but not my taste.

The only seat I have sat in was a nex non-reclinable. I thought it felt great. Going by looks I would have to say Bride Brix

stock so I can kinda recline.. I've sat in Recaros and they are ok.. but I like to move around.. I've sat in Brides and I couldn't stand getting out of that sucker and you couldn't recline. I need room to move around a bit especially when my car is also a daily driver.. stocks are comfy...

RearWheel: My bride brixes recline. You were probably sitting in a bucket or you've probably never used recaro style reclinable turn knobs.

I like Brides, a bit tight though. I hear that they're starting to make larger ones intended for the export market, though.

I like the SE seats in my 14, but they can't go up straight enough, and they are a little too high, so I'll be getting a bucket.

Who the hell voted for APC? I've tried those seats. They provide no side support whatsoever. My stock seats are much better.

Holy shit JIC seats :eek: ...I was going to say that sparcos looked the coolest until I saw those! Wow! I haven't really sat in any racing seats,so I don't know:(

I wish seats weren't so damned expensive. Just get the APC seats and have "sparco" put over it:jerkit:

EDIT:I can't afford damn 600$ just for seats!!! Thats ridiculous. I can't think of any other racing seat I could afford but the APC ones,I want to change my stock S13 ones....

I think I have sat my narrow ass in almost every seat made... personally, I dunno what seats to get away from a Business stand point.

Bride is the Top JDM Seat, along with AAR, but both are totaly different... Reclinable would have to be Bride, Bucket is where I am lost on these 2 companies.

Recaro is the Europen Manufactures Choice, much like Brembo is to Brakes. Recaro also DOMINATES Sparco... Yes, Sparco sells because of the cheep price, and I would rather see someone with Sparco than APC, Tenzo, TrashCans, etc...! Beside that Recaro is Never discriminated against in any country, so you can have Recaro in your JDM, USDM, or EDM... eather way Recaro = World Wide Super Pimp!!

Neo Yakra
06-01-2004, 11:50 PM
I have to disagree with most of you....Sparco makes a decent seat.....yeah recaro and bride are more expensive but....on the track there all FIA certified...meaning quality! and last time i checked sparco and recaro are seperate companies under one corporation!

All and all look at the rally drivers.....and look at the D1 drivers......
all three seats are used by the pro's

I just sold an old bride brix for a new sparco ultra.... believe it or not the bride payed for the ultra and then some, and i would have to say they both feel good.

NO CORBEAUS. Corbeau's are good for whatever 200$ you pay, but are still trash.

I hate Bride too but thats only because i'm fat and tall.

Sparco "evo-l for big boys" seats for me all the way.

SlideStar
11-30-2004, 12:39 AM
Bride Seats for sure. But really, any old fixed back Carbon Fiber bucket seat will do. Bride seats are just nice because they are deep and well fitted.

revat619
11-30-2004, 03:19 PM
I'd have to say Bride seats with a close second being Recaro. I've sat in almost all of the Bride and Recaro seats (buckets and reclinables) and they're both nice and very high quality. The one that fit me perfectly though was the Bride Zeta III which is why i put Bride as #1. That and the fact that Recaro doesnt really have a reclinable comparable to the Brix. Sparco's are cool, but the only one that i thought was comfortable was the Ultra. They're quality seats, but IMO, definitely not on par with Bride and Recaro.

Until of course, you get on the track and you wonder why your right leg has scratches and hurts so much.

You might like them, The gias is the shiznit that and the xax are probably brides most lowest and most expensive seats but there what every tall person would love.

that's what i have for a passenger seat and it doesn't hold you well. my driver's is a bride zeta III that i love. that's what seemed to fit me the best when i was test fitting a while back but of course i gained some weight by the time i actually got it. it's a little snug now but still very comfortable. oh and of course i'm not sliding all over the seat while at the track, lol.

i have had a momo T-frame, a Sparco Sprint and now i have a Corbeau Forza, I think the forza is far above the rest. the momo and sparco were a tad too small and did not have wear patches on them, the corbeau is slightly bigger and does have patches plus a killer ass pad that adds alot of comfort to the seat

You would think, but take a look at a seat cover and see for yourself. They are very well padded, even more so than worn out stock seats.

i chose sparco b/c i've had really good experience with them and have owned 2 sets in the past. they fit me (6'00, 165 lbs) a lot better than most of the other premium seat manufacturers, and the price isn't unreasonable for what you get. even got my pair of new REV's for 750. Hopefully I'll throw in my old EVOs in my 240 when i can get ahold of a rollbar.

I like Recaro's, but its difficult for me to justify the premium for what they cost. I just want something that works well and looks respectable.

I've never liked Brides race buckets. They have excellent quality materials and construction no doubt, but they don't fit me. They fit well at the waist area, but they are way too tight in the shoulder and upper body regions.

Kirkey for the win. Cheap, easy to find and light as hell. And they actually make different sizes for us oddly shaped individuals instead of being confined to a one piece seat made for a tiny japanese man. Granted the brides are great looking seats, but a tad small for most of the general american populus. And plus I can find alot to do with the $1800 I wouldn't be spending on my seats / harnesses.

S14's for OEM style and comfort, Sparcos for off road, but IMO Recaros are over priced and a bit bulky looking.
