This is one of those times that even I'll say that this response was uncalled for. If he had asked if tracks would allow them with his super jdm tight harness setup that's bolted to the rear strut bar; then it would be better suited lol.Fact of the matter is, just about any reclining aftermarket seat is the same in sense of safety as the next, including factory seats. Granted there is a price range you can run into where materials and quality are sub par, and the afore mentioned is null if you're replacing seats with air bags built in.

As far as I know though, you can't take the sliders off the oem seat, so you're going to have to buy brackets and/or sliders. If you're a handy type of guy, you could build some tabs that are along the lines of some of the aluminum brackets that can be had.

Why would you buy new trash seats when you could go to a junkyard and find better stock ones?

true, but imo, used seats are like dirty underwear... a bottle of fabreeze can't get rid of the icky feeling beneath my arse.

I wouldn't buy some B0mZ seat either though

LOL @ dirty underwear. I don't know many people who drive naked, do you?

It only costs $100 to get somebody to detail a whole car's interior. Cleaning one seat well wouldn't be an issue.

But what if it's the Bride from Taiwan that cost about the same as Bomz? They've even managed to get the "sparkling silver" paint now, haha. Damn, I can't believe there are SO MANY eBay Brides out now. Makes my real ones (at least I think they're real, haha) feel less special.

Wow, I just looked at seats on Ebay, Bride of Canada? Haha. How about that guy in FL selling a broken Bride seat? I think that may be worse than Bomz. I would like to think some douche would put it in an Integra, but it comes with a S13 bracket conveniently attached.

Technically speaking, that's just rumor, I haven't seen any rel proof other than some people saying that they heard it from someone else. Of course, everyone is free to believe what they want to believe.

My post concerning this on the other forum:
Email from me wrote:Hi, Recently, I've seen Bride seats for sale that are listed as from Taiwan . Do you & your dealers get Bride from Japan or Taiwan ?

Thanks!Quoc

BRIDE Japan and the USA office has nothing to do with Taiwan .

Those products are complete counterfeit.

All the genuine BRIDE seats are manufactured in Japan only with our pride in it.

Thank you.

Brides are awesome seats but...

1. They are way too exspensive2. Only made to fit 5'4" Asian men that weigh 145 lbs.

I tried to sit in a Bride Brix once and I almost got stuck, the side bolsters are high (good) but the fit is TIGHT, you have to have like a 26" waist to get in there and be comfortable.

Get Buddy Club/Signal/Sparco IMO.

I agree with you 100%. I'm 6'2" 235 and I cant fit in any of the Bride seats I have sat in.

he only has 1 post so my guess is one of 2 reasons....

1) Random topic to post into where he can make it sound like he actually cares, so he can up post count to post, and be able to post in classifieds.

2) He didn't realize there were dates on the posts.. (I know they're easy to see but some people have tunnel vision)

I wouldn't go cheap for seat, or at least find yourself a used one with quality.
