Currently Bride is catering towards us 240SX owners, so I hate to jump on the bandwagon but they are currently far superior in seating options for our particular cars. Keep in mind that seating options change constantly like computers, before MOMO was the seat to have, then Sparco, now Bride. So just bite the bullet and get Bride, and if your serious call them up direct and inquire about what you want. It’s always best to talk to the actual manufacturer, and they can also set up shipping and sales for you.

I would if the werent so freaking expensive.

im not getting a seat because i simply want one, but becaust the bolt for the recliner broke away some of the metal of the seat (hard to describe) and now the seat reclines whithout using the handle.

is there a bride seat in the $200-$350 range?? i dont want to pay more than that.

another issue is, what all do i need to install the seat? the seat, the slider, and...anything else??

Curious, has anyone or does anyone have a Buddy Club seat in their car? I'm interested to know cause I've been looking at buying one for quite sometime now and would like to get some feedback on it.

For a brand new seat? That price range is imppossible, the lowest priced BRIDE seat cost around 450-480 which is the BRIDE PROS bucket seat.

Bucket Bride seats are cheaper the reclineables. We're talking aobut a few hundred dollars difference.

If you're getting bucket seats, you'll need the rails/brackets and side mounts. BRIDE PROS is the only bucket seat that's bottom mounted, so no need for the side mounts.

Just get Buddy Club($285) or Charge Speed($350).
