fastisnice Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Your joking right? They are horrible seats comfort wise, the are designed to keep Japanese people firmly located in said seat whilst drifting. If you can get 2 x Bride GIAS seats (like the ones you posted) with subframes for £1400 I'll eat my hat! The cost price in Japan now for 2 seats without frames is £2250, so nearly £3k by the time you get them here with subframes and taxes. Gaz. Totally agree, comfort=0 specially if you are big.

Maybe it's just me then, but I was I thought they were incredibly comfortable. Anyway regarding the price, nic quoted me less than £1k for the seats plus £90 for the subrames.

When though, before the pound dropped 40%? Can you post up a pic of the hat eating for proof please Only when you prove you can get a pair of the seats you posted for less than £1400 Have a look on Brides site: http://www.bride-jp.com/products_lm_rec.html 150000Y @ 140 Y/£ = £1070 for 1 seat not including the subframe, or delivery, or VAT or duty or anything else.

Chiefgroover Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Anyone know how they fit for the larger gentleman? Depends a lot on your rib cage, I am quite a V shape 5'10, 13.5st and pretty solid, and they hit me hard about 2/3 up my ribs on either side, so not going to be everyone choice. So i sold mine a few weeks later. I didnt like the higher seating position either. I also noticed i couldnt recline them due to width. Lovely to look at though.

Dazzi Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I have the Misano's too. A lovely seat:) Post up the damn pics then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastisnice Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 i remember on Chris's supra, they wouldn't go back all the way, mine have the carbon back too. Who cares? i didn't buy them to sleep in the car:p I have quite big back and they are quite comfortable. More comfy than any other aftermarket seat i've tried. They definately look awesome.
