Recaro SPG\'s for me. Although I may change them to some RZ Carbon Kevlar Recaro\'s if I can come to feeling more comfortable with the Kevlar backing. ;)

I know it may sound greedy, but I was going to keep these as spares.   :spank

Will give first dibs anyway, if for sale. They have only seen some 1600 miles. :)

I paid quite a bit for these.. Spirit R CF/Kevlar seats.

Before I put them in, I\'m getting some interior pieces to match the seats... And the rollbar. I\'ll post pics here when it done in about 6 months.

A pic of my seats, well sort of! Only got an older pic from 2004 to hand but you can see that nice carbon kevlar weave - they have to be the most comfy bucket seats I\'ve sat in yet! And the tilt back feature is great for a laid back drive! :cool

No thx Gary, they look uncomfortable as hell, ok fair dos they might be light & everything, but i wouldnt like to even try and sit in them for more than 5 mins, i cant see anyone on this forum using them apart for the strip heavyweights
Title: Who has what when it comes to seats?
Post by: banned advertiser on March 31, 2006, 05:41:09 PM
they are very comfortable, unlike most carbons or kevlars Ive sat in these have some flex, so keep you firm but not so solid you go numb.I have used them and would not be afraid of long journeys in them, they are used in Mosslers, if you was paying that amount of money for a mossler you would expect them to be comfortable.

RZ Recaro\'s are extremely difficult to come by.

But your car suits the Sparco\'s well :)

I have a pair of Kevlar/Carbon Pro-Series Corbeau Buckets, with 6 point harnesses :)

Getting the mountings has been fun, but all solved!  Need to keep the seats as close to the ground as poss so that head doesnt foul against the cage, and the seat as close to the tunnel as poss so my feet arent at as much of an angle on the pedals.

I\'ve sold my Mazdaspeed seats to a member of this forum and splashed out on a set of brand new reclinable Bride Gias Red seats, with Carbon backs.... Wanted reclinable seats I could use on the track, so I\'m well wedged in, but can still carry one rear seat passenger sitting astride.... or a baby, when my wife gets pregnant :)

I\'ll post some pics sometime..... Of the seats, that is! :D :D

Here\'s a (Not very good one!) pic of my Rex with the new Bride Gias seats in.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v336/Miguel-Newera/IMG_8372.jpg)

We\'re now also Bride seat suppliers with shipping direct from Japan.

They won\'t appear on our current website, as there\'s a complete new parts website in the pipeline, but will appear there....

Anyone want some, please contact us via the site for a quote. Not cheap, but the damned nicest seats available, period :D

We can provide Gias III seats, here\'s an example on prices:
Bride Gias III seats (FRP): £473.12 each.
Bride Sliding seat Rail for FD3S (FG Type): £90.50 each.

Carriage is extra, but inexpensive via surface delivery (6 weeks).
