and what I meant by "how they fit in our cars" was space wise like leg room and knee room under the steering wheel

 

Be warned these seats are very tight. If you not skinny then consider another seat.

 

They also look like they sit quite high (tall) off the floor.

 

well skinny isn't bad for me at all
I'm 6' 3" and weigh 155 so I'm a tiny little kid

I don't know the dimensions of our stock seats, but I'll take some advice I once received and use the :nosearch:

 

155 means you'll fit fine width-wise. However, 6'3" means you need to be careful about seat height. I'm sure you're well aware of this, but brackets tend to make the seat sit even higher. Depending on your torso length you may run out of headroom.

Others have solved the height issue by bolting the seat directly to the mounting points on the floor. This method causes loss of adjustability but you can install it to your specifications. Nobody else, unless of similar stature, will be able to drive your car. This is probably a good thing.

In this case, though, it would be wise to keep your stockers for future ease of sell.

I found this on Bride's website for the mounting bracket for our car. But I have no idea what those specs mean on the part for the MR-S, if someone wants to help me out and explain it that'd be great :icon_thumright:

Thanks

 

Just throwing this out there: This kind of super lightweight, fiberglass fixed back seat is a big adjustment (pun intended). I know we all want our interiors to look real cute, and the support sounds like it would be great, but it sure is a different butt experience. Not saying you won't like them, some do (I don't), but it's an extremely important part of the car. Discomfort there ruins the whole drive. It's also not atypical for this style of seat to bend under your weight, so supports (that mount to a harness bar, which you'll probably also want) might be necessary.

 

I know they're fixed positioned and you can't adjust, it's like my seat on my kart. It doesn't bother me too much, plus I don't normally take this one long trips. I'm keeping my stock seats just in case something goes wrong and I don't like the way they fit around me

 

You know those are bootleg, right?

For me, it's the bending that's the worst. Feels uber cheap and totally uncomforable. I also think Cosmin may be right that they are fakes. In that case, they'll definitely bend and feel like crap.

 

"BRIDE is a registered trademark of Taiwan and Canada. These seats are NOT made in Japan."

 

haha oh well f that then

I'll save up and get some real ones someday soon then

 

There are a lot of other cheaper alternatives out there. I, personally, wouldn't get Brides unless I lived in Japan or was tryin to make a show car.

thanks for the heads up

considering the spyder is my DD I'd hate to save up for something like this and have it ruin the spyder experience.

celica seats it is

 

Look for the bride sticker on the side of the seat. That will tell you if they are real.

 

Oh well I'm looking for the Celica seats too!

does anybody know how much they run for a pair?
