Check out these tests of Recaro Vs. Bride seats. Not sure if the model makes a huge difference in safety, but BRIDE didn't do so well.

Recaro:

Bride:

Just for comparison purposes, look at how well this stock seat does in a crash test(Not 370Z): Towards the end of each video

And the 09 Prius Seats:

Notice how the stock seat barely moves back any, while Recaro moves back approx. 45 degrees, while the Bride becomes flat.
