Has anyone tracked an S2000 w/ Bride Pros. Do they have adequete lateral support. I know being leather they are prolly just as slick as the stock seats but I was hoping the side bolsters were more aggressive giving more support.

Bride Artis II and Artis II Navi. Way more supportive then the stock seats, don't even bother if your waste is bigger then a 34". No issues with door or compartment. I had no problems taking this on 1000 mile trips and on the track. According to some people Bride's aren't safe. But on their website it states the following

"TECHNOLOGY FOR SAFETY"

"We concentrate on safety, to enhance our sports seats to perform better. Every sport seat goes through various crash tests to conform with the safety standard of Japanese circuit racing: F.I.A. OFFICIAL-HOMOLOGATION. "


Brides are used in D1 and JGTC so you decide on your own.

For bucket seats, we've tried:

Mugen seat w/ Mugen bracket
Spoon seat w/ Mugen bracket
Bride Zeta III w/ Mugen bracket
Recaro SPG w/ Mugen bracket

Mugen seat w/ Bride bracket
Bride seat w/ Bride bracket

And for reclinable

Bride Ergo's with Bride brackets

The lowest bracket we know is still Mugen's.

I would honestly stay away from Taitec rails. The method in which you have to slide the rails forward and backward is a pain in the ass.

There are two latches you have to unhook in order to slide the seats, and there is practically no room to slide your hand down to reach the inner latch (closet to center console) and will probably cut yourself in the process.

Thanx for clarifying this for me. Looks like I'll have to go with the Mugen bracket for my Exas III for extra room when I get my Cusco 6-point as soon as I sell my 5-point
