Default BRIDE bucket seats..

I'm thinking of selling my driver-side black JDM ITR Recaro seat and replacing it with a Bride bucket seat. Thing is that I need to order it from Japan, and so I won't really get to try "sitting in it" before I buy it. What I want is an opinion from you people about which model is the most comfortable bucket seat out of their range.. I want something that is a bit "wider" around the *** than a Recaro SPG, perhaps same width as a Recaro Pole Position bucket seat, or a bit slimmer than that, with good back support, but not to the point where you're sitting up straight. Must be comfy.. Any help (pics too) would be appreciated - thanks a lot

I've only sat in one bride seat at a import show, it was comfortable and stylish...I liked it but didnt seem much different than any other racing seat.

is it non reclinable? if so..keep your ITR seat, trust me.. its a pain in the *** to daily drive with a non reclinable racing seat..those things were made for race day.. daily driving with them gets annoying..

I've ridden in my friend's Bride, forgot if it was Brix or Ergo, but it's too low for my taste, I had to stretch my neck just to see the front of the car.

But that's the thing, I don't want a reclinable one. I want a bucket seat. I'm bored of my ITR Recaro's.. and its a bit small for me around the *** and the shoulders.. so i'm looking for something a bit bigger and wider.. and wanting to be different, I want a non-reclinable bucket seat. I have many friends here who drive daily with bucket seats.

Nice. I have a pair of these in my car right now..


Browsing around on the web, I found that most places are stocking these:

Bride Artis II

Any comments on these? Are they just as comfortable as the Zeta II's? How about width down there.. how's the fit? And do you know if the Artis II's will fit in the integra with minimal hassle? Does your gear stick get in the way of the seat? I heard from someone that this is a common problem with many bucket seats if you don't get the right one Thanks

You can daily drive in a race seat and still have comfort

How do you think people who do 24 hour enduros survive.

I have sparco speed seats in my car.... (non-reclinable) I daily drive my car, and I don't mind. But i don't sit with ghetto flava. I sit up straight like a normal person even when I had my reclinable seats. I love my seats, if you sit up right it shouldn't be a big deal.

I ended up swapping my driver-side ITR recaro for a mint condition black Recaro Pole Position bucket seat. A bit tight around the shoulders, but other than that, I love it I'll post pictures up soon once I can get my hands on a digital camera

Thanks for the help anyway guys, I appreciate it!
