Post BN sport Bride Seats

Found these while going through bride's Japanese site. Not sure if anybody else has seen them before.



Apparently at their demo room location they have seats that include the BN sport stitching on the seat. Although I don't believe it has an affiliation with BN Sports (the people that make body kits) if you did have the BN sports kit it might set it off. Or if you wanted to have some slightly unique bride seats.

Just thought it was interesting. What do you guys think?

or if you are into drifting, or aggressive driving, or hate the garbage OEM seats. serious power doesn't have too much to do with it.

well if your drifting your usually putting out some decent power, agressive driving the same ,,unless your one of these guys that thinks hes vin desel on his stock engine with his taped on spoiler, which for the record is usually the case.

what is so garbage about the Oem seats? is it the comfort? power options? good looks? All of the above?

IMHO, the pretty decent comfort is the only good thing, and plenty of seats are comfortable. the leather doesn't hold up, and the seats don't hold you in for nothin, constant sliding around

I agree with the sliding around in the seats getting annoying, but can we not argue guys

Yes I agree,,even taking a sharp corner has u kind of sliding out of your seat, in terms of the leather holding up mine are 20 years old and i dont have any cracks or tears , but i see some online with huge tears and rips ,,,i think how they were cared for plays a role.

They are. But it's still a little different if you wanted some points for uniqueness.

And the brackets should be the same as the normal GIAS or the same normal w/e model you're looking for. Bride's Japanese site has what rails are compatible for each seat, and then you can find which ones fit the SC. I know there are bride FO rails that fit the sc but i think that's for certain buckets not reclining seats.

bn sports makes me think of the early 2000's drifting in japan. haruguchi, fukuda, d zamurai, tezuka. Alot of those cars were outfitted with bride seats, so the affiliation makes sense. ever seen thrash seats? old school!

3L4,

They look great and I considered them for a moment at one time when they first came out but...how tall are you and what do you weigh? If you are anything more than (ahem...) slender, I would highly consider finding one before you plop down your cash. Due to the bolsters on the side, they may be uncomfortable if you don't easily fit into the allocated space.

Just my .02.
