anyone try these immitation bride gias?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts....c0.m245.l1318

 

They aren't an imitation, but a cheap model.. they made a low-cost model thats just the same, only with cheaper materials, exactly the same size too, so i don't see why they wouldn't fit
It's fiberglass instead of kevlar :P

 

I looked into them, and from those who have bought it,(on other forums such as bimmerforums), said it was very similar to an actual bride, but still an imitation/copy/whatever term you want to use. The material quality is not as high and the weight is slightly more. What was unclear to me was the seat height - it is supposedly from a bride seat mold,(meaning they took an actual bride seat to mold the seat), what the long term consequences of tha are unclear. For me, the seat material being somewhere between the Memoryfab seats and actual bride seats gave me a little pause as I was using it for a daily driver,(plus some supposed failures of the copies). BTW, if you are using this in a daily driver - don't get the Gias - that side bolster at the front will make life difficult w/o a removable steering wheel. The stradia at least has a lower front bolster but is otherwise identical,(hence the reason I went with the stradia).
Bottom line, the sliding seat bracket,(the one I have for sale), isn't available, (that I could find), so you will need to purchase a Bride one. The same should be true for the non sliding one. You gain 1/2" clearance by ditching the slider version. W/a slider - it should be very similar to your roadster setup bolted to the floor. BTW, if you sell your roadster - let me know, I may be interested.

Here is a thread with some more info:

Evo2 Driver Seat Installed. Required modifying the seat and making a custom non adjustable seat mount. But the seating position is inline with the steering wheel, pedals and low enough where I fit with a helmet one. 6' 230lbs

Seat mount is made out of 70ksi steel, will be remaking it as one formed piece and making one for the passenger side as well.

 

Mo Pics, had to move the hatch/fuel door lever assmbly back 10mm to fit next to the seat.

 

This is similar to what I had to do with Corbeau FX1 seats, but the Evo's are an even tighter fit than those were.

These puppies hold me nicely, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone much bigger then me though. I'm 5'7 and 145lbs

I also bought the seat back pads, I just have to install them.

 

I have the Stradia version of the Low Max - I'm 6'1" and 180 w/34" waist. I fit, but I'm about as big as you want to be and be comfortable. The close fit is in the waist - not the height. If you are pushing 36" or bigger waist, you will be a very tight fit or won't fit at all. 5'7" and less than 150 - no issues at all I'm sure.

 

bump for more pics

 

Are any of the lightweight carbon seats, bride or sparco, as comfortable or close to stock

 

any more users of the memoryfab s68? single or double locking sliders?

 

Well Here Are My Seats....It Was A Tight Squeeze But I Got 'Em In....

 

Love the seat but would not use that on the street

 

Yeah, talk about blind spot.

 

Hey axman you might want to look into getting a fully inclosed battery box. From the looks of it that battery is pritty exposed. If it blows it will probly not hurt you since your seats are covering your body and then some, but that would kill your seats.......just my opinion

 

Thanks For The Concern Man
But I Have A Fully Enclosed Box Fabricated And Fitted Now...
Oh And While The Car Is Primarily Driven On The Street I Actually Dont
Find The Seat Restricts My Vision Too Much......Well Maybe Just a Little

 

whats a good seat that will "drop in" that fits a guy thats 5'8" and has a 34in waist ?

Would the Pro2000 work? Or regular Evo?

 

just fitted a pair of bride ergo2's into my fd

will take pics when i get home

 

The above mentioned Bride Stradia or Gias fit nicely and are great for someone your size.
<shameless plug> I just happen to have one for sale... </shamelss plug>

They are more expensive - but they were designed well, and fit right in w/no issues. I posted a thread about installing them, etc..
Cost new is around $1500 +, used or near new like mine - about 30% less. I'm selling mine for $1k w/the rails if your interested, used 1 week.
