Default Advice on choosing Seat

I currently have a '95 LS that I use to commute ~50-55 mi round trip each day to work (~ 1 1/2 hrs total driving time).
The stock seat is far from the worst I ever sat in, but I'm currently looking for something with more support / comfort. Something with a high degree of adjustability would be nice as I'm 5'7", ~130lbs.

I was looking at reclining seats since this is a daily driver. I heard that Bride seats are a good fit for short, skinny guys. Anyone have experience with Bride BRIX II or ERGO II?
Any other suggestions? Sparco, Corbeau, Recaro? Stock Type-R?

This is something I'm willing to spend extra $$ on, but don't want to be just paying for a brand name.

I'm 5'7 150 pounds. I love the stock Integra Type R seats. Very confortable. The JDM DC2 Recaros, I love even more. Go to a few meets and ask to sit in the seats

I'm 5'8" and 142lbs. I got these seats called the Recaro Sport. These seats fit me perfectly w/ lumbar support for my bad back. They also have the extended leg support which I like. The tilt adjustment **** is on both side of each seat so they can be interchange between the driver and passenger side. Another reason why I chose them is they way the weaving gives the carbon fiber look under the light. These are how they look in my car.




My camera exposure is actually high. They're actually darker than they appeared on the pics above.
Here's the pic from the Recaro site.

Drove my GS-R over 1000 miles total from Memphis to Chicago back in August. My stock seats felt fine to me.

the stock usdm itr seat is the same thing as a 94-97 integra seat but has a different material.... only reason people like them is the material

the jdm recaro type r seat is a totally different world... it is by far better than any seat we got in an integra here

The Type R Recaros are the ****!!! They are very comfortable! Im 5'7" 160 lbs and i love my Recaros. They hug me really well. My friend who is smaller than me says he does not like them though, so i guess its just a matter of opinion and personal preferance.
