If money was no object, I'd pick whichever seat I felt most comfortable in and have it reupholstered without the cheesy-*** logos.

hehehe, Z is not for daily drive in the first place. The OEM seat already kill me for daily drive so i think that Bride would be the same as OEM. $1.3K for that seat. I think it worth it.

1300 sounds pretty cheap for the seats actually. I know they list for around $1775 as of october. If you can get them for 1300 go for it. If not there is a shop on e-bay that has the brix II seats, which are not as nice as the GIAS, but still comfortable (I have them) for around 1200/for a set of two and then another $350 give or take if you want the seat rails.

Bride....

I still like Recaros but they come as OEM equipment in so many stock cars nowadays. Kills the whole "aftermarket" aura.

Those are the stock seats inside a Ferrari Enzo. Go ahead and fling that "ricer" comment as much as you want if it makes you feel good, but at least do some homework.

PS: It's just not Ferrari that does racing seats in leather. Porsche GT3 stock bucket seats: http://www.automotion.com/ProductPage.aspx?pid=102859
"Available in black leather only"
Carrera GT: http://www.compositesworld.com/ct/is...ober/593-a.jpg
from Porsches website: "The lightweight seats combine elegant leather upholstery with a single-piece carbon fiber and Kevlar shell. Both are available in a choice of two widths with optimum lateral support and manual fore/aft adjustment. Clearly inspired by the car's racing specification, the Carrera GT interior offers a subtle combination of comfort and elegance that is ideally suited to everyday road use."

I have Bride Brix II seats and they are comfortable enough for driving around town, even got stuck in traffic a couple times. I've also taken on a 2hr road trip, ok on the back considering my car is lowered w/ 19" wheels. As for the legs, the Brix II have high side bolsters and if you've got a waist bigger than a 34 and big thighs you can forget about it. THESE SEATS ARE NOT FBA APPROVED!!! If you are still considering Bride look into XAX II for lower side bolsters. As for Recaro's they make great seats. You may also want to look into Status racing seats, I'm thinking of getting me a set and changing out my Brides

For those that are commenting on the gradation or as yall have been calling it "cheesy-*** logo", Bride seats can be ordered w/o the gradation.

I think recaro, have more of a luxury feel to them, and are still f'ing good seats. Bride are overpriced and overrated.
