Yellow kevlar weave in the seatbacks really goes well with the car color.

Very nice! Congrats, they look awesome.

Nice, looks like clearance to the door panel is minimal if any.

No doubt, very tight. lucky for me I'm only 5'10 with a 31 inch inseam, so I sit closer than most. More clearance on the passenger side than driver's side. Is this typical? Have others done anything to increase clearance??

Wow, those seats look like they BELONG in the FD.

2 things though...

1, I shudder just thinking about how expensive they were.

And 2....I'm 5'11" about 200lbs, and sit ALL the way back, so it sounds like I would have fitment issues.

T_T

LOL I wanted on for my fc. 6'5" 180 lbs 33" waist Iono what to pick.

Yoshi... yea, if you sit all the way back they will likely rub on the drivers side door panel. I looked for a couple of years hoping to snag a set of factory Recaros, but either the timing was bad when they came up for sale, or the condition of the seats was less than optimal for the asking price (IMO). If you look at BRIDE's website, they have a warning that these seats are only rated to 180 lbs, which suprised me. Certainly catering to the Japanese market on that one. Guess I need to lose a little weight ;)

Pricewise, they are about the same price as a nice FB :)

Not sure if there is any more room in the FC for these versus the FD or not?

Sexy

How much did u pay for them if u dont mind me asking?

Great choice in seats. Can't wait to see and feel these at sevenstock. Congrats

Stradia's ? You should go get your shift boot and ebrake boot redone in matching Bride fabric from Redline Goods.

Here's the catalog from Japan. Check for yourself!! :)

Thanks. You'll be one of the first to sit in them (other than yours truly) ;)

Maybe leather boots with red stitching, but Bride fabric (IMO) would be overkill.
