Bride seats vs Status

BlkBat · 11-13-2011, 08:21 PM

would you say status or bride seats are more hyped and everybody has them?

NewYorkJon34 · 11-13-2011, 08:34 PM

Less people have bride due to the price, but I'd say that make some of the best seats out there

Status does make very good seats/harness' so it's not just hype. The same goes for Bride, you get what you pay for. But you will pay for it.

Just orderd these Bride Cuga's in red. The only bad part about getting high end authentic Bride seats, is having to wait months to get them in. Mine will be in mid January. I will take some pics and give my thoughts on the quality. Seems like allot of the Bride seats I see around town, are fake.

Looks sweet! Thats the way you find out if they're Real or not.. Ask them how long they waited for them.

Status doesn't make reclining seats. Their construction is really nice and they're fully customizable.

Bride and Status seats are just different, but both are nice. The problem is that there are tons of fake Brides out there, so be careful.

Personally I say go Recaro! I got the CS Sportster seat and could not be happier!!!!

Just out of curiosity...
Are there any aftermarket race seats that you can get as heated? That's the only way I'd do it - I'm spoiled.

I would say neither, you pay for what you get.
Status offers full bucket seats which can be customized 100% while Bride offers a full line of seats for different needs, and both are top quality.

Really, it is not hype but quality you are hearing. Seats are something you do not want to cheap out on, a good seat will save you will a bad one can kill you.

Mike, you got the amuse bar? How much for those seats? And yes there are def alot of fake bride seats, right Mike

lol

theDreamer · 11-14-2011, 02:17 PM

I believe those seats are about 1200-1500 depending on options plus rails.
Saw a set in a 350z but the owner was not around so I never got to sit in them.

As a dealer of both Bride and Status, and having handled/sat in/oogled tons of both brands, it really comes down to personal needs/preference. Status only offers ONE FIA certified seat. Bride has several. Status seats are HIGHLY customizable, though. Check this link for info on building your own Status seat: Status Racing

For a street car, I'd pick up a Status Icon seat and have it custom made to match my car. If it's a track car, then it'd be a toss-up between a Status Ring and Bride. Bride seats are true JDM quality seats (so long as you don't get duped into buying knockoffs), and Status are high quality, made in America, by a company with a background in military parts manufacturing.
