Need help with aftermarket seats
 

I think I'm more lost now that I've read over the various seat threads. Basically I'm looking for a set of seats to use in conjunction with a 4/maybe 5 point harness for running AutoX events and still retain the stock belts for street driving.

From what I've gathered Bride, Recaro, and Status are the preferred brands but there all pretty f-ing expensive. Also I might have problems getting my fat arse in some of them comfortably. And of course height could be an issue too since with a helmet on I just barely miss the roof in the stock seats.

Important info: I'm 6'1" ~215lbs 34" waist

Any recommendations on seats would be helpful. Preferably $1k per seat with hardware or less.

These look nice...

Edit: I just saw your size... those might not work since OP is also 6'1"

I just found these. They seem to be popular with the NSX crowd...

R1 Carbon Kevlar

Basically replica Bride Stradia IIs?

Idk, someone mentioned on the NSX board they were GIAS Low Max II reps..

edit: just searched the Stradia, it looks almost identical to the GIAS?

Yes, those are the Gias, the bolsters are higher on the Gias than the Stradia.

the Corbeau vx1000 seats are old now, i think there are VX2000 now.

Just wondering how time consuming/difficult is it to switch out the seats? Just thinking that maybe just going with a non-reclining seat and then in the rare event that I make a long road trip (ZDayZ, etc) I'll just throw the stock Nismo seats back in for the trip. Am I crazy with this idea or is it feasible?

Removing the stock seats only takes about 5 mins!! There are 4 bolts, u will need to move the seat forward and backwards to remove each sides bolt, then unplug the airbag wire usually a yellow connector (if you have touring seats) unplug the power seats and heated seats harness.

dude is 300lbs, while the op is 215.

i say have at it.

Currently leaning towards either the Bride Vios III or the Bride Zeta III L. Anyone have any experience with either of these? Also do either one or both allow for a 5-point harness? Only thing that concerns me is that I saw some reviews online that say the Vios may be alittle on the narrow side (32-34" waist max.) and I just wanna make sure they're not overly snug.

you will really need to just go and sit on them and measure......

Recaro pole position is a great seat too

Anybody have experience with the Bride Zieg III Type-R? Just came across this seat today and looks like a possible winner.
