Are these bride bucket seats replicas?

Hi guys ive agreed to buy a pair of bride low max bucket seats next weekend but doing a google image search I cant seem to find many that look like this (third picture) most of them look like the ones in the /firstsecond/ pictures and are called bride low max gias.

Im not bothered if they are replicas as they are a good price, new condition and I prefer the look of these ones but just wanted to know really cheers.

Don't get those mate! Jamesy goes everywhere with a pillow stuck in the seat they're that uncomfortable! Granted they look great, but that's not really the point is it!?

Out of interest how much are the real ones with carbon backs each?

Really? whats the score with them are they replicas or genuine just older model maybe?

around £1k a pair I think

Not bad money that! Recaro carbon comes in at £1400 and corbeau £1320.

..... Fixed position though.... No recliners

Be careful of replica Bride seats. They tend to be weak frames and have been known to fold forward if you crash

This is what I was told when I was looking at Bride replicas anyway.

Ok cheers for the heads up so are the ones in the last picture replicas then?

I don't know. How much are they up for? If it's around the £400 mark, then they will be replicas. I looked at genuine Bride LowMax, and they were around £700 a seat with the carbon back.

If they are coming from eBay, check any small print at the bottom of the advert. If it states they are made anywhere but Japan, they are definitely replicas.

Oh, and I've never seen a LowMax that doesn't have the split in the cushion at the front, so that may be a tell tale sign

Replicas, bad ones...

around £1k a pair I think

They're a damn sight more than that! I sold Jamesy the ones he has now, I bought them from RHDjapan, I was gutted to sell them, lovely seats but my big bum couldn't quite squeeze in and I love pasties too much to change!

To the op - The ones in the pic are replicas dude, the bolsters are different, the real deal have a plate on the bottom of them with the spec on them and the hologram.

Ok mate I saw a pair at 1k but they are probs fakes then didn't realise it was going to be so much hastle just trying to get a pair of seats lol. Think im going to go with recaros now anyway just need to decide on what would look better in mine red or black.

Recaros are the way forward mate, I went back to oem ones, they can't be beaten frankly. Red would look lovely in yours dude.

Love my Brides... dont listen to Pants!!

And yes they're a helluva lot more than a grand for genuine ones guys

Dane on here can source the real ones...

If they're that comfy I never want to see a pillow stuffed down the back ever again! I expect you'll enjoy Dragon Ball next year with no pillows

haha - that was a one-time thing and i dont regret it.

fact is, they are race seats, in a race car ..... its not meant to be all comfy and fluffy to be fair...if you want that buy a GT-R!!!

if you want comfy BRIDE seats i can recommend the BRIX II. they are very nice !

Genuine Bride low-max gias were around £1200 each the last time I looked, certainly a lot more than 1K per pair. I was offered genuine copies a while back for £900 for the pair, so around £1k for copies sounds about right.

As much as I love it, that thing is about as much a racing car as I am Usain Bolt! It's a road car with no boot carpet!

These would be my choice for a fast road Supra which is occasionally used on track: https://www.recaro-automotive.com/en/product-areas/aftermarket-seats/products/recaro-expert.html

How's that? Its the same car that competed in the Toyota Sprint Series mate... ... Andy Barnes used this car as his race car while Sumo owned it.

…which is not a race series in the traditional sense… it's a sprint series! Turn up in any car and go basically… I'm not being a dick intentionally, I love that car you know that. Just don't kid yourself into thinking you have a race car there, because it isn't.

To paraphrase Jay from the previous post;

"[it is] a fast road Supra which [has] occasionally [been] used on track"

….and a very nice one at that!

Which is why you should sell those shite uncomfortable seats and get some proper ones!!

I'll stop tugging you off *r chain now I promise… !

You can get higher cushions aswell.

And yes they are uber expensive.

I have bride stradia 2 low max, cost me about 2.5k €

I had Bride Gias low max replicas on a MKIV of mine and they were very nice being replicas. I have Recaro Speeds in leather in my other Supra so I have an idea what after market seats are like.

 

fact is, they are race seats

This bit is correct.
