Default Your opinion on a Bride Zeta bucket compared to a Recaro SRD

CLIFF NOTES: I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU LIKE THE BRIDE ZETA 2 OVER A RECARO SRD.
for 3 reasons
QUALITY, COMFORTABLENESS, and SEAT HEIGHT.

If you havent sat in both of the seats there is no need to state your opinion...

I want to get some bride zeta 2 buckets I believe they are next year for my si. I just recently sold the recaro's out of it because I was going to return it to stock and I wasnt too happy with the feel of the recaro's compared to my old del sol seats.

The recaro's moved from their place adjustment wise, which im not the only one who has complained about this... the brackets for the seats seemed like they moved around on the bolts every now and then.

And they even at the lowest setting with the recaro rails were as high as the stock ex seats I replaced them with.

I have sat in a bride zeta 2 quite some time ago and it sits real nice and ****** low just like I want... but I believe it is a smart idea to acompany the seats with a harness being the seat belt isnt really that practical or all that effective with one.

In your opinion Do you think the bride zeta two is a good practical bucket seat to own, or is there something better on the market like the recaro bucket seat.

Not many people own that seat so I didnt think of it as an alternative.

I would love to hear all of your opinions on this.

I have sat in both seats. I like the Zeta II because i am pretty skinny and it fits me well. I havnt driven with the Bride but i am sure that after a while the seat would start to get uncomfritable because you arnt able to move much. It is a great track seat. The SRD is a nice seat for every day use. Its pretty comfratible, but does not have the support as other racing seats. Another nice seat is the Recaro SPG. I havnt been able to sit in the seat but I have a friend who sat in it and loved it. He somewhat of a bigger guy and said that it fit him nicely. Pretty much the only thing you can do is sit in each sit till you find on that you like. Hope that helps...

I have owned both seats...SRD's are a good everyday seat, bride is more supportable. The SRD's didn't hold me as good as the zeta 2. The SRD's shoulder support flexed a lot during cornering. The bride held me firmly in place and I couldn't move at all, and it's not uncomfortable. It has 3 height adjustability and i have the front set on 3 and the back on 2 so the seat is inclined a little, i could probably drive 3-5 hours without getting sore.
