I was in SoCal and stopped in at Sube Sports and asked what would be a good seat for a guy that is 6'6" as my brother is building a car and in need of race seats. He said try the SUZUKA PRO-FIT GT as they have a tall back and are suited for taller drivers. I took a seat and he was right nice a comfortable too. They also come with a number of different size cushions as well. Regardless at your height you will not be able to use slider especially if you need to wear a helmet for tracking.

I'm going to be ordering a set of Bride Stradia BUT I'm trying to determine if I want Low Max or regular... it is just the cushion right? So if I got the low max and it was too low I could swap?
I roll with my Nismo Recaros all the way dropped with the side dial that allows for height adjustment. I am only 5'9 but seem to have a long torso. Any Bride guys with Recommendations I don't like seats up high but since I'm not super tall I don't want to be laying on the ground...

Can someone please give me some info on Bride seats?
What's the deal with them, real seats are expensive and the reps are cheap. The reps say they are licensed through Bride and are built the same minus the different carbon fiber / Kevlar shell. Is there a downside to the reps? Such as the manufacturing process ?

Bride knock offs are not made through Bride, the internals are probably really cheap and could snap in a collision.

This is what I want to know. How are the internals compared to the real ones.

Buy Corebau or Cypher if you want. Cheaper seats that are still decent quality. Can we talk about real Brides please!

I agree I had Cypher seats on my 07 hrZ and I loved them. Quality is great and frame brackets were great quality it was a breeze to install. I had cloth with the middle an a synethic alcantara, really comfortable and holds you in place.

That's 799 for a pair too. BUT I found them a little while ago for like 650 on carid.com or something. That's a nice looking, steel frame for a great price. Just need brackets/sliders

Don't buy fake seats unless the idea of being folded in half during an accident sounds appealing to you. The cost for "real" seats takes into account the actual R&D and crash testing that went into them in addition to the generally superior materials and craftsmanship.
