Drove w/ them from MA to NC (15-17 hour drive). I didn't have any problems, but I wouldn't say they are super comfy either.

Status update - I've had the BRAUM seats in my car for about several months now. Boy, are they uncomfortable. I think I might take them to an upholstery shop and add some much-needed cushion in the back/butt area. Either that or just sell them and get some status seats or something. They still look sweet though lol

The real test will be the 4-5 hour drive down to Ocean City Maryland from NJ. Wish me luck

I had the status ring GT and loved them. I have Bride right now because I wanted a reclinable seat

My old STI was sponsored by Status Racing so i had the GT-X seats for about 2 years. They're nice to look at, and they kept you in place, but like mag_black said, they aren't super comfortable. They're fine for short drives, but if you have to daily it and rack up miles, I wouldn't reccommend them, especially if you go with fixed seats.

I've had the Bride X Cusco Zeta III's for a year now and they are still comfy. Much better than stock seats >>Once you are in them<<.
No pressure points like the stocks had.
I do have a more developed lower back though, so that may have been giving me more pressure there with the stocks. The Zeta's on the other hand are shaped perfectly to match.

Any of you guys have input on Braum seats? Im interested in the burgundy set but Im not very educated when it comes to pros and cons of seats and what kind of features I should look for. Daily driving for more comfort and aesthetics.

Exactly. If I could do it again, I would get reclinable (SPA) or some Brides. I had the GTX as well and it's narrow on my shoulders so I have to drive around like a hunchback, also needed to lose some weight to fit in them.

tonythetiger · 10-03-2016, 02:47 PM

running on status seats for awhile, pretty comfortable for a bucket seat however i find stock seats tend to be really comfortable. I might switch over to bride, prefer adjustable seats rather than buckets since its street use as well

justsomeguy · 10-18-2016, 11:40 AM

Anyone here who has the Sparco Fighter seats, can they give me a review about how they feel about them as far as daily driving goes? Is it uncomfortable etc?

Widdzz · 10-19-2016, 09:58 AM

None you would want to be sitting in during an accident. If it's not FIA rated, you may get seriously hurt in an accident that you would have walked away from in the stock seat.

Widdzz · 10-19-2016, 12:02 PM

Hmm what about without the hardware, just seats. I'm 5'9 140 lbs so small seats work great
