yeah i've tried out the bride line since there's a store in milpitas with a few seats on display and the other ones i've tried on my friends wrx. the brix are pretty small too, not quite as small as the zetas but yeah they're small enough to make my back curl to fit my shoulders into the area. The rib area I felt it hold a little too tightly but the shoulder area is what made me say eff it. The thigh bolster is pretty damn high too and you'll rub your pants on your steering wheel every time or end up bending the crap out of that thigh bolster over time. I think I'm gonna end up getting the Recaro SRD's although I haven't given them a thorough fitting yet.

And this is the first problem with a non-reclineable seat :) I'm a huge fan of the S14 seats, oh so comfy yet they retain the stock look in my S13, much more supportive as well.

MSRP is 269. I went to Autobacs in Orange county and wow, it felt fantabulous. it holds you in at the right palce. the shoulder and thigh supports are super supportive. and the thigh part (under your thighs) is comfortable. for the money and name, i'd say sparco


HOw big are you cause im interested in the same seat and i can't find a place to try them out.

Im 5 11 177 lbs

*Underground* I'm very interested in purchasing a pair of seats. I just want to be certain about a couple things. These seats will fit a big guy right... like 34-40 waist with shoulders to match. And for $458.00 i get shipping, 2 seats and brackets? If so i'll be calling tomorrow. Thanks, -Larry

see ive been trying to upgrade my seats for a while but my main issue isnt really the seat, its the COLOR!!!!! i have the notorious brown interior in my 93 240sx and i think the only people that make seats that could match my interior is the sparco milano. the other seat i was looking at was the rsx seats since they come in a tan leather.as far as i know, the s14 seats didnt come in tan and that leaves me with the choices i listed, or getting a racing seat thats black and having it reupholstered to matching my interior? any ideas on how much that would cost? any ideas if the rsx seats would fit? and yes, im 6'0 195lbs

so are the NEX seats really as "flexy" as SCC made them out to be in their review of the 75 different seat throw down?
