These are not real Bride Seats. I can't give you a review but I hope you are aware of that. You are paying a pretty premium price for something that is a replica and not racing approved. If you are okay with replicas go for them but they will probably not be held to the same standards as the real deal bride seats would.

Thanks, do you know if the authentic brides are worth the cost?

Not a clue. I'm the guy from the ebay seat thread, and I said that you need to sit in the seat to know how you like them. I know its not possible to do that really unless you have a dealer near you that sells bride seats. That being said from what I've seen on the official website they are about 1800-2000 per seat, unless I'm mistaken.

That is a ton of money in my opinion. I'm sure they are comfortable but I can't spend 4 grand on seats on a car I bought for about the same. If you want to look at a similar seat with a non-fixed back check out the sparco r333 seats. They come out to be just a bit more then the replica brides. I don't have those seats but that is what I will most likely get.

Just depends how much your life is worth to you. We have seen those Thai brides go for as low as $500 a set, but as mentioned, are not certified by the FIA or any other safety organization we are aware of.

The cloth quality on the replica is decent, but does not hold up as well as the authentic ones. They are meant to fit about a 30-32" waist size.

I have a set of the Bride Zeta III's, I like them, they hold me in like a glove, but I am also 180# and 30" waist. Like mentioned before they are not FIA approved, but they are fine for street and autox use. The fabric has faded the last 3 years, but that is from a lot of parking in the sun with the tops off.
