Question on choosing Bride Seat (searched) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

HKsilvia · 11-13-2006, 12:35 AM

Im sorry if this question is covered again but i really did search for hours and still cannot find the answer.
i know i need to get FG rail for lower position and im getting a bride seat soon.
but the question is about the hip support, im currently using Sparco Rev plus and im planning to sell them for another seat, which one of the following should i choose?

Bride Zeta III type L with FG
Bride GIAS with lowmax(its expensive i know)
Bride VIOS with lowmax
Sparco Evo 2 with FG

i did some research on these seat and heres the dimention
A = length from left shoulder support to the right
B = width of the seat from left hip support to the right
C = total verticle height of the seat
D = verticle height from shoulder support to the bottom end of the seat
E = length of the seat from the side
F = true seat length

to be precise, this is the pic

bride zeta III L (my current goal)
Bride GIAS (sexiness tat cost me armx1 + legx1)
Sparco Rev plus (my current seat)
Sparco Evo 2 (my plan B )

unit is in mm
Zeta L
A - 590
B - 475
C - 880
D - 595
E - 665
F - 500
GIAS
A - 550
B - 450
C - 860
D - 565
E - 710
F - 500
Rev plus
A - 588
B - 490
C - 838
D - 539
E - 612
F - 490
Evo2
A - 579
B - 512
C - 844
D - 578
E - 631
F - 487

im more tend to be buying a zetaIII L, but GIAS is reclinable and with lowmax that would be ideal, however it seem to be a small seat.
im currently 6"2 and 190lbs, rev plus can fit my ass even tho its hurt sometimes, and the hip support is kinda tight too so i doubt on the comfortness on Sparco, people with bride seems very satisfy on their seat so i wanna test out the bride even it seems tighter on the leg support.
i need u guys' help please, anyone have sit on these seat can give me an idea with to buy?
my currently order of desire
ZetaIII L
GIAS
VIOS
EVO2

thx in advance

I have a zeta III and my waist is a 34. Fits a fine just as long as I, "adjust" , and have nothing in my pockets.

But if you search, there was a pretty long seat thread that had all the info you were looking for.

Out of those choices, i think just a regular Sparco Evo would fit you fine. An Evo2 is probably too large for you.

If you think that your size needs an Evo2, then I doubt you'd fit comfortably into any Bride, even the Zeta III L.

Evo regular will sit low enough on FG rails, just gotta get some tilt out of the rails to free up head room.

Don't bother toying with all those dimension numbers, try to find someone in your area with these seats and sit in them yourself, that's best way to choose a seat.

u mean the ultimate seat thread right? i did search but no luck, some say it fits and some say it doesnt

ive been looking into recaro already, and ive been seat in one, shoulder support aint wide enough

thx for the replies

yeah, im still surprised you fit in that seat...when i had mine, i thought it was perfect for me and still had to "adjust" some stuffs around

but best bet is to take your time and physically sit in various seats yourself...i wouldnt take anyones word on preference...have you looked into cobra seats? they are relatively cheap, carbon kevlar construction, snuggly, and FIA approved...cobra imola/imola II and cobra suzuka/suzuka II are very nice seats, instantly fell in love with them (more so the suzuka)...and they also come in plus sizing for all you big folk...

i was gonna say recaro (cause u know thats what i recommend first)

recaro is king of seats, period

but u know them BRIDE-O BOYZ, they wont run anything but bride once they get their mind made up

recaro pole position would probably fit you perfectly

and its affordable too

i run and love my recaro SPG but i think you might be too snug in it

sw20>>s14: cobra? ewwwwwwww

HKsilvia · 11-28-2006, 03:16 PM

A spec u are right, last Wednesday i had a chance to go to the carshow and sat on a recaro spg XL, thas was great!!! i think i had changed my mind, now i want to get a SPG XL coz it fit me perfectly and i mean PERFECTLY.
but i got 2 concerns :
1.Can it be fit in fastback? will it hit the door/window since its wider
2.Will bride FG rail fit on these sit? i believe FG is the lowest bracket so imma make a seat-rail combination...

thx...

If it doesn't fit the door, just cut it out. Seat is more important that door.

I've never sold a XL before, but I'm going to take a guess and say no, it will not fit in FG rails. Pole Position already is stretching it with FG rails (but works), so I imagine SPG XL to not work.

hitman · 11-28-2006, 05:46 PM

cobra is sick. i thought they were comfy, and held me alot better than the pole position. the cobra suzuka and i think imola or one other one in there expensive trim withheld like 54gs or something like that? i think htey set the record for most imact w/o breaking...

kensreliableb18b · 11-28-2006, 06:10 PM

aspec, would you happen to know if you were to run the fg rail on the spg, does it sit kinda funky around the knee area (as in too high) or does it sit fairly low, comparable to the position of a zeta3 with fg?

drift into a curb · 11-28-2006, 06:27 PM

I gotta disagree with you on the Cobra Logan. Cobra seats are grr-reat. You're probably thinking of Corbeau which is ultra shitty. I previously had the Imola 2 and saw the suzuka. Awesome seats. No need for ultra JDM crud. Sparco Pro 2k forever!

kensreliable18b, my friend's spg (normal size not XL) fits normal with the fg rail. Possibly the seat padding position? or installation error?

kensreliableb18b · 11-28-2006, 06:34 PM

dirft: no, i was just curious about the positioning of the spg with fg, thats all. i have a zeta3 and wanted to know if it'd sit just as low. thanks for your input!

drift into a curb · 11-28-2006, 07:13 PM

To my knowledge it fit better than my pro2k. The shell backing on my Pro 2k was a little bulkier and limited when setting the seat in the rail, it would tap the bottom frame rail. His SPG didn't seem to have a problem fitting on the bottom settings and already had somewhat a lean in the seat, whereas my Pro 2k kinda sits up straight. I know you're not interested in the pro2k, but just using it for reference.

Hahah, I know COBRA and CORBEAU. I still am not a fan hahaha

I used to have Sparco Evo, I liked that one a lot actually. Pro2K is also a good seat, if you been eating too much turkey over the holidays, cause its for da hungry dudes. If you don't have the extra kidney pads tho it feels all loose like a hot dog down a hallway.

i dont think it sits "funky" at all

thats what i run in mine

SPG + FG rail

works fine for me

if u reaaaaaaaaaally want, i can go take pics

but then u better buy a SPG from me

lol

Dousan_PG · 11-29-2006, 12:03 AM

i sat in logans car w/ the SPG and FG rails
in fact i was chilling and watching him work (hands down pants) when he insatlled it
it sits and feels great
low too
i would rock it
but i use a gangster BRIDE MAXIS (older version,not that new shit)

Ricks15 · 11-29-2006, 12:50 AM

HKsiliva if you're a talley then the zetaIII L is for you PM me I got a new one with rails i wana get rid of.

HKsilvia · 11-29-2006, 09:02 AM

damn...now im stuck :s what rail am i gonna use on SPG xl then...or should i give it a try even u guys think its not gonna fit?
and ricks15 for the zetaTTT L idk, the thing that bother me the most is the width for the hip since i serached around and found ppl complaining its too snuggy aka small, i understand the purpose of the bucket seat is to hold u tight but u know, not too tight that u wont feel ur leg after 1hr of driving. im not a fat guy (at least i dun think so lol) but i want to choose a seat that wont squeeze my ass & balls, especially i drive at least 1-2 hrs a day, i need a bucket that dun overtight me, also the seat height is important to me (6ft2) too thas y i lean on FG rail so much.
this seat is going to be my 2nd seat. my current seat (sparco Rev plus), to me is a wrong choice. im not a rich guy so i want to sell mine and buy another one and i wanna buy it right!
thx a lot for all the infos pls help help me on this. many thxs

kensreliableb18b · 11-29-2006, 10:59 AM
