Those seats are the pinnacle of perfection in the Japanese market. They are right up there with Recaro. You will not be sorry tha tyou bought those seats. But to better match your car I'd just get Recaros.

Their Zeta II seemed Just like my Recaro SPG except the material is not as thick around the shoulder areas and the top near the head.

Also none of the Bride seats have the friction lining aroudn the shoulders.

For the price, it would be better to go with a Recaro.

Yes they are FIA approved. You can see them in almost all the GT500 GT300 cars in Japan. They either use Recaro or Bride. Sabelt harnesses or Takata Harnesses.

From all the seats I sat in at the SEMA show Recaro and Bride had the best ones. Cobra had the best reclining seats (lightest in the world 18-20lbs)

hope this helps
