Seats and options... help!
 
Morning all,

I'm looking to sit in a Status Racing or Bride seat to see how my American hiney fits in there. :icon23:
  • Bride choice = Stradia
  • Status choice = SPA

My local Status dealer says they don't stock Status, only order them.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I heard bride's fit smaller size person comfortably & they are not made for people over 6 ft

I'm 6'3" and have sat in Bride Seats comfortably. But they were reclinable, I can't speak for fixed back seats.

If you are a bit on the "Typical American Hiney" scale...look into the wider Bride options, like the Cuga.

Where are you located? As you might know, Vivid racing IS Status, so if you are close to us, you are more than welcome to come check out what we have on display.

I have Bride Vios III. At 6'1" and 220lbs the only issue I have is that it's a tight fit for my fat a$$. Height has never been an issue.

fwiw I've always read the Status seats with their mounts raise the seating position

No one seem to mention. Any seats that accomodate the crown jewels well? I cannot stand having them crushed in the car when sitting in racing seats.
