just wondering if anyone has installed the bride low max seats in their s2?

i have one. Bride Vios III Low Max on Buddy Club rails.
The picture I have doesnt show the difference in room.
By room for the driver do you mean height wise? you can put the seat all the way down, which I love. I'm only 5'8'' and i put mine on the lowest setting on the rail. Its several inches in difference. I do have a funny picture of my gf sitting in it tho. ill see if i can find it.

Here are some pics of a local members car - GinoGT
Pictured are Heather and Francesco , both local members. Gino has the same seat as me on the lowest setting.



Here is my gf in my car - shes about 5'0''

height wise i expect it would be considerably lower.
i mean like forward and back, does the low max decrease the amount of room u can put the seat back (due to the rear shell of the low max seat) . I dont know if that makes sense

yaya! pics would be great!
i have a bride low-max from my previous car, and cant decide if i should install it into my ap2.

ohh, so you already have the seat and like it. In terms of how far it can go back, i'm not sure how much extra. I don't put mine all the way back but i think the rail limits it almost as much as the OEM seat + rail would. I'd say go for it. the car is so different with a bucket seat, I love it.

NICE!!! i'm 6"2. this would be perfect for me. to the OP... did you really need the low seat? if thats you in the 2nd picture... can u even see over the steering wheel? stock would seem best for your height. (not being negative just curious)

yea its considerably lower.

I'm not in any of the pictures I posted. The 2 people in the yellow car are a couple inches shorter than I am.

When I sit in mine, the steering wheel obstructs the bottom of the windshield ever so slightly. I put my OEM seat back in for winter and i feel like im driving in a caddy!
Also, for those who haven't looked into Bucket seats, this one is tight as hell!. I'm 5'8, 165 lbs, 34 waist and its tight. I use my OEM seat in winter because wearing a jacket doesnt allow me to fit comfortably. Also, this Bride seat makes me sit up straighter and my back doesnt hurt on long rides like the OEM seat seems to ( i have bad posture)

Yea the seat is very low..
If your a bigger guy Im 6'3" and about 200lbs with a 34-36 waist and I cant fit into the lowmax ...

Id over that seat for years and a local picked one up so I asked to sit in it and I couldnt get my butt all the way down in the seat I have an average build for my size.

there are other seats that arent as tight as this one. another local member had a Recaro, i think a pole position and it was as low, but not as tight.
