Has anyone got Bride seats fitted?

Post by Stuart »

One of the options I have considered with the GTR is investing a few quid into the interior. With that in mind I'm looking into various seat manufacturers and seat rail types to see which ones give the best support and space for my substantial figure.

I love the look of the Bride stuff but have only ever sat in one super snake hip mo'fos fitted to an S15.........has anyone adult sized got them fitted to their car or an aftermarket seat of similar style (recliner only please)? I would ideally like to try a few different types before making a final decision. A pair of seats and rails could well come in at

The only person I know who does Bride stuff is Miguel at Newera.

It can only be described as incredible !!!!

But not cheap by any means, also the subframes they do seem to be very varied.

Cant think of anyone who has a set for their RX7 either for you to contact.

Recaros are really nice, I like the Recaro Speed seats. Waiting for a red secondhand set to come on MRC for a cheap price !!

To be honest though how about having a retrim of your seats ?

I deffo think the recliners are the most suitable for your frame !! Cant see you squeezing into a set of fixed buckets lol. If you try...tell me as I will bring a vid camera for the event !!!!!!!!

Good luck on your search though mate.

I think I may be a bit bigger than a 32" ;)

Thanks Ollie

I know they Recaro Speeds Gareth, I had them in the Integra. My only query with the Recaros is whether they do a low enough seat rail for me with a lid on. I'll have to ask Nik nicely when I see him next............

I have buckets in the Sierra and they would wear too quickly in a day to day car with 19 stone clambering over them, so they are a non-starter.

Anyone know of a good Recaro stockist?
