Installed Bride Stradia iii driver bucket seat.
Backorder was about 3 months as promised by Bride Japan. Only have driver side to test out the seat if I like this one or move up to the Gias iii.
The seat is great. Perfect seating position and very low. The issue is now the steering wheel doesn't go as low as I would like it to be, but isn't a dealbreaker. The seat could potentially do long drives, but have yet to test that. It's a snug fit for my build and my pant waist is 30 inch. I can't see someone with 35+ inch pant waist sitting comfortable in these seats. Smooth install and everything bolted up without issue. Craftsmanship is perfect. This model is the glitterback FRP. Better looking than any reclining Recaro in my honest opinion. I am a huge JDM person, so bride was no brainer. The car saw atleast 2 track days a month at its peak, but definitely toned down. can't wait to put more seat time in this seat. |

Nice seats! Looks like they'll hug you through the corners. Which tracks do you usually run at?

Looks awesome!
I think you can fab up some aluminum railings and use them for spacers to lift up the seat? Should not be hard to do with some square tubes. How tall are you?

The bride rails do have a big spacer between that and the seat, but still very low. Not an issue, just something to notice. I am 6'0.

I couldn’t tell you how high the stock seats are off the floor of the car, but because these buckets have a hole in the middle for a 5 point belt, i measured 5.5 inches from off the floor to the seat cushion. It is a very noticeable difference.

Looks like a huge improvement over the stock seat, must've shed 30 lbs?
Are you getting a matching seat on the passenger side? |
