Interior Change

Hey there guys,

So, I had my seats front and back redone in my FD in BMW red leather about 3/4 years ago, they are in for sale section.

I wanted to change things up, I am getting bored of this interior. I contemplated going with racing seats.

I am 6'1 and 215lbs. Needless to say getting in and out of the car already is a mission. Anyways, the seats I was gonna do are the Bride Gias Low Max with the Low Bride Rails. Any opinions on those?

OR

Redo the seats in a different material/color. Any suggestions. Car is white with black interior (door, dash, side panels, etc)

Thanks a lot guys.

Okay,

yesterday I tried a set of Sparco Sprint buckets in my car (NOT SUCCESSFUL AT ALL). I think I pulled a couple of muscles getting in and out of the car however they did fit!

Also, I went and saw some Bride Gias Low Max seats yesterday, sat in them and they do feel good getting in and out of it. I haven't tried them in the car yet. I am confused on what to do because for $1500 dollars I don't want to be wrong in fitment and then I am stuck with some seats lol.

By the way, if you do go Bride Gias (which I believe are the best fit) make sure you get the Bride LR rails specific to RX7. They are the best for fitment.

I'm leaning more toward adjustable Recaros at the moment

Maybe not helpful but I had a set of MOMO Start 2007 on brackets that I had fabricated (used the stock slider assembly) and they fit in the car and I had no issues getting in/out. I'm 6'1" as well but 150lbs. Clearance between carpet and bottom of the seat was no more than an inch.
