Yah… for a reclinable, non-homologated heap.

Why make a CF Reclinable? The mechanism weighs it down anyway.

because they can. This is the best of the best in reclinable seats. Not for people that want to race.

Yeah but still… if you aren’t racing it, and the only reason you buy CF anything is for weight savings… then why bother buying the CF seat?

I dunno… My head is screwed up, I couldn’t justify it. That’s just me though.

thats a seat for a rich ricer.

late 30’s, rich, trying to be youthful so he builds a show car supra or something and slaps a PAIR of those in.

trailer queen. anyone who wants a nice bride for the track would get the one sasha had.

still tho, that seat looks sick.

Its a seat for someone that daily drives their car and wants all the advantages of a circuit seat and wants to be able to change the seating position slightly for different drivers or to lay down and relax. You’re so judgemental, an amazing peice of engineering on all fronts and all it does is get cussed out. Its carbon because carbon is the best material to use, its strong and light, the seat as a super low seating position designed by bride which is a new design using a rounded bottom to basically alow you to sink into the seat, something we’ll see REAL ricer companies start to copy soon.

Like eric said, if you dont have anything good to say you dont HAVE to post.

also don’t forget, image is everything in japan.

if the money is there, to have the bragging rights of a gias over a brix, egro or …xax…, even as a passenger seat then yes, people will opt for it.

bride has done the reasearch so they know that there is a market out there for this precise reason or else they wouldn’t have bothered making the seat.

If this seat allowed me to sit further back then it might be worth it for me. I’d need more leg room since i’m 6’3" and find the 240 on long drive a bit knee cramping.

Note to Seat manufactures for North America: I’m tall and need more leg room as well as support, this is true for many other North Americans so make sure you consider me next time!

wow…

only seat that I would pay that much for is a recaro, apperently they are not only a damn good seat for performance based driving, but they look cool and! They won’t wreck your back!

I dunno this is all really dreaming for most import fans today. yeah fancy seats are nice, I really want some form of mounting system where I can swap seats fast, and easly.

you could have some cheap ass racing style seat for sporting days or autocrossing. and a nice quazi comfy stock 240 seat for the rest of the time.

how can you say you would rather have the recaro inmstead of the Gias? and why would you switch seats too much of a hassle, get a seat that you can live with track and street and go with that

you’re right. I don’t know why I care what people buy. Maybe it’s because I like to see my friends having cars they are really happy with, and cars i KNOW they will be proud of. But then again there are so many idiots out there, if they cant figure out that investing in the best parts will bring them the most joy thats fine! And there are different types of people, some who just want to go fast and thats IT. So my appologies for caring, buy a Bride, Recaro, Sparco, Veilside, Arospeed, APC whatever floats your boat!

I’m done with giving unasked for advice my appologies
