The seats I am looking at measure 22"w x 23"L x35"h, Would that fit or is it too wide?

Those don't look like authentic Bride's. Also a good majority of the ones you find on ebay for cheap are fake too.

When I had MRC seats the adjuster for reclining feature was touching the door when it was closed, on those, they look like they'd hamper the door even closing properly, they are big.

Which ever seat you get I highly suggest sitting in it first. I was set on Corbeau's until I sat in one, it was awful. I then sat in a Sparco, it was awesome, so I spent the extra cash and got the Sparco.

And just an FYI; it's pronounced Brid, not Bride haha.

My buddy Neil has Corbeaus and they are awesome... For reference though, here's the measurements (that aren't posted all over the net) of my MAD Racing Seats...



Whatever seats you want though, wait a week... When I get back I can hook you up with wholesale prices since you've been great on the overlays. My paperwork went through finally...

Get Sparcos....drop the extra cash because they are far more comfortable. I have never liked Bride seats that much.
