Default Bride Seats in a 944

Does anyone have these seats in their 944? If so any impressions?

I only ask b/c I may have a lead for a mint set with the Bride Script in black for cheap...and I am in need of new seats...

They are excellent seats. I have a similar set of Corbeau seats that I love. The only issue may be if you can't find a set of brackets to mount them, then you'll either have to make your own or just bolt them to the floor.

I am just kicking the idea around, there is a set available for $250 around me....
And I probably would fab up some brackets.

I have no problem with Bride seats, it just seems a bit odd to put Jap seats in a German car. I don't know why, it just does to me.

Write it up to opinion.

I really liked that seat in my friend's BNR32. They hold on to you well, and are WAY more comfortable than fiberglass shells.

If they're comfy for you, go for it. Don't let a few snobby opinions make you think otherwise.

I don't see any problem at all with it. Hell, your balance shafts are from mitsubishi.

These seats fell through, But I found a good deal on some nearly new MOMO street racer seats with harnesses, but I need to measure them, to make sure they will fit.
