25 1/2" to 28 3/4" is from the COMPRESSED butt pad to the opening. First measurement is to the bottom of the hole, second is to the top.
13 1/2 - 14 1/2" for the width of the tightest part of the pocket, or back corner of your butt space - bigger out from there.
The foam padding for the base is about 1 3/8" thick and compresses to almost flat
from a quick test fit in the car it will clear the door my a few MM, its close on the center compartment though. It will open I think, but brush past the fabric of the seat.
Have you completed installation yet? Any pics would be great too, thanks!
Bride Stradia II type-XL with low cushion
I wanted something comfy and lower since I'm big guy, this seat is rather new in Bride lineup so no fitment photos was available.
My waist is ~38, and i fit nicely even can wear a jacket so a good option big guys who like Bride seats.
Finally installed it, only assembly issue I had was fitting seat belt receiver.
No rubbing on side plastic/door, glovebox door only slightly touches against seat when opening but it is 100% usable. Also seatbelt receiver rubs on seat and a bit on tunnel.
One downside is that for tall driver seat does not slide all the way back as stock one. I'm 191cm and for me it is at the very end so for someone taller this might not be a good option.
I have a lightly used Recaro seat rail and a potential buyer wants to know if this would work:
Recaro Pole Position
Recaro Pole Position side adapters
Recaro LH/US drivers side bottom mounted seat rail part # 2085.103.1 latest version with black bar.
First reaction, just unboxed the Sparco QRT 2 min ago, I have owned Brides and other fiberglass backed seats before.....dude...these are SO much lighter. They fit really well too. More hip room than most. I am 6' and 180lbs. They fit well, but not "tight", but not like I could slosh around either. Just kind of comfortable and snug. I could certainly weigh about 30-50 lbs more and probably still fit well honestly but they still don't feel too big. They look much nicer than a lot of old Sparcos, feel quality. Packaging was crappy but they were ok in the package. Will test fit tonight and report back.
Can you give an update? I was pitched this seat in a shop today, but the guy had obviously never put one in an S before. I agree it was pretty comfy but it wasn't mounted yet so I had to sit on the floor in it, which wasn't very accurate. Here's the link to the seat on Sparco's site for reference:
After driving my son's 2017 Toyota GT86, I just relized how much I hate my 2005 S2000 seats. Maybe they are just worn out or maybe the previous owner of my S was fat and heavy. I definitely do not want a bucket racing seat either, those are great to hold you but it feels like a straight jacket, I daily my S.
So what make and models fit and it must be able to recline?
