Anyone try the Bride ViosIII Ultra Low Max Seats? Looks like a seat rail specific to the FD and is centered.

Which, if any, of these seats gives you extra head clearance? For track days I'm using a factory seat with up to 2" of foam removed from the bottom so my helmet can clear the roof.

I never thought of using the racer seats...would help in an accident if you have an 8-pt roll cage. I'm thinking of getting an 8-pt and am nervous about driving on the street w/o a helmet on. Anyone else doing this?

i think the buddy club's look awesome.
but im very hesitant to replace the stock seats. weight is important but not if it will compromise comfort. ive sat in some racing seats and they are awful for long periods of time. are they worth buying for a daily driver???

Anyone have red Bride Pros seats? I kinda want to get these because I think they might actually match my red interior (they look kinda burgundy like the stock leather seats).

Sparco Pro2000 on custom fabbed brackets (modified from stocks sliders). Doors rub but center tunnel clears.

They are Sparco torinos I think, and you just have to make custom rails.

With the Low Max system, how is the seating postion compared to stock (lower or higher)? Do they contact the doors?

I'm sure those are great seats but I HATE the fact that they say "low max" on them in bright red lettering.

How tall are you and how much do you weight? What rails are you using? Is the seating higher or lower than stock?
