alot of copies out there.. so make sure you get wat you pay for (REAL from japan)

if you know people with these seats, test them out. they all feel different and pick which one you like best.

make sure you can get rails for them too

Recaros are my pick, alot less of a cop magnet than the Bride's

plus you'll need a modification plate to run them legally so I'd add that to your cost as well :D

As above, try and sit in a few of them and see which ones suit u the best.
A good point made about brides being more easily targeted for defects as well... so keep that in mind.

But end of the day, its simply a matter of you picking ones that you like, and acquiring the right type of rails.

personally after sitting in a number of seats/rails, you're best bet is geniune ek9 rails for the proper height as the vision items are too low, lol

once you sit in them you'll see what I mean (I'm over 6'4" and I find them low as, lol)

why are bride's more defectable than other seats?

brides aren't adr is the reason

plus they have alot of design flaws for road use, which are obvious to any cop and they'll hand out the fine fast

best bet for any of your choice is to invest in some seat covers to deter theft and cop attention

theyre rediculously low, you see those pics on the ek section where blokes look like theyre sitting on the floor, those are the rails theyre using

very baller, gangsta, whatever, just if that air bag goes off or a cop looks at em you'll wish you have std ones :D

My Bride Vios 3 with universal rails is a great height with me being 6' 1" but it really cramps my legs up being that low! I've just adjusted them to tilt back more and I might put a towel under my back/legs to prop me up a bit... see how it goes.
