The Panda Garage seats ARE Thrash seats, just rebadged.

If I can't get the SPL bucket off of a friend of mine, I think I might pick up a Panda Garage seat.

This is my Status RING GT seat. Status is working on patenting the design so there aren't copies running around.

All seats have been FIA tested but only the Carbon Kevlar has the sticker. The other materials (Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass) should have certification in the near future.

Pretty cheap too...but I'm thinking the custom brackets and rails might be a pain to fabricate.

A guy here daily drives an s13 with a kirkey seat. I don't know how uncomfortable it is, but he can stand it. He sits LOOOW too. Lower than any other seat/ rail combo I've seen.

So I got a set of Bride Vios III's with LF rails. Kind of a tight fit, but not too bad.

94cc0rd · 09-20-2008, 12:39 AM

looks nice... i think i sat in one of those... not sure... i do remember it said bride low max..

wasn't too bad... kinda tight for me

when i was trying to decide on a seat, i sat in logan's recaro SPG and i bought one the following week or so...

best seat ever! my friend who has had bride zeta 2's prefers my recaro over the bride.

what are you looking to accomplish? some seats also have weight limits.

While I am in 'fighting' weight at 180, I am not obese at 220 which Bride seems to disqualify.

I will say Bride IMHO is awesome but definitely slanted to the skinner smaller dudes. Recaro is the next step, great seat to more middle dudes....corbeau is not popular here but I have known a few bigger dudes that really like them. I have been a passenger in them and they seem decent.

I have seen many hate threads on Corbeau with each saying either Recaro or Bride over them. However they had different requirements.

I will say you will want to try and try the seats somewhere first.

alkemyst · 10-03-2008, 07:52 PM

many cities will have at least one really high end accessory shop somewhere with usually at least recaros on display.

Sparco Pro 2000 best seat ever made.

Yeap · 12-09-2008, 11:37 PM

I was thinking of getting the bride Ergo II. Anyone who has this or has sat with this setup ....which of the 2 rails keeps you closest to to stock seat height the MO or FG?

jonnybonds84 · 12-12-2008, 08:57 AM

Corbeau!!!!! Swoot.

tramp_drift240 · 12-12-2008, 04:13 PM

i'm a bit taller than OP, like 6'3, about the same weight at around 185 pounds. would the seats recommended for him still work out straight for me?

mobilesuit818 · 12-22-2008, 12:14 AM

Zeta 3 type L,

I am 6'2, 170 ish...perfect seat for tall peeps like us.

RickyC · 03-05-2009, 02:28 PM

quick question........ how do you fit standard belts in an s14 when you've got recaro spg's and recaro sidemounts and runners? Can you only use harnesses as the standard belts were bolted to the standard seats?

Seat rails such as the Bride rails have a bolt hole where you attach the female side of your seat belt assembly

You can use stock belts no problem, just take it off your old seat

J40sx · 03-05-2009, 03:59 PM

you can go with signal auto bucket seats
its a trusted brand, i guess not to popular here

What are the equivalent alternatives to a sparco evo 2 plus? Size wise. 38" waist, 215lbs, 6'2. Perfect fit..

And what is the lowest bracket one can use to fit an evo 2 plus in an s13?
