.......these look like a very good deal, but seem pretty cheap for what they are. I know they don't come with rails, but still looks a bit of a bargain.

What do you folks think, buy or not to buy?

I agree mate, something doesn't seem right. I see in the description seller has put mobile number. Maybe worth a phone call and some pics. As the ones in ad appear to be off google or similar.

They are not genuine Bride hence the price.

You're most probably right, but they look good quality so may be worth the money. I know if I bought them I'd claim they were genuine

 

[dragerboy]

If you look at his other listings he mentions on one that there is another registered 'Bride Trademark' but its not the Bride we first think of. However I read somewhere that the manufacturing process is identical.

Definitely not genuine, the Bride lettering never has half writing! Always the full BRIDE. Also the genuine ones are twice that price.

 

[Roba Fett]

As they say, "If it's too good to be true......"

 

[Adam-Murse]

if the quality is there i wouldn't care

 

[StuartTheFish]

I don't see what the fuss about bride seats is about if I'm honest. Personally I think they look shite.

 

[nova]

I agree with you Stuart

 

[leedscal]

I also agree with Stuart even though they are expensive seats in a car they just look cheap, them different colour stripes look like ****

 

[Brains88]

But a seat is a lot more than a color.
It's built to protect you! It's easy to build a seat but it's not easy to make it safe.

 

[StuartTheFish]

Yes, but there are plenty of other aftermarket seats also available which don't look like 1970's rejects, so why are bride so much more sought after than say recaro, sparco, etc? I'll still rather stick with my r33 gtr seats thanks. More comfortable yet still supportive, better looking, cheaper, and actually suit the car.

Agree there!! The companies who charge high prices for there brands is all down to safety.

I would always buy a genuine product as we know they are made to the highest of standards.

But cheap buy twice. Or even buy cheap have a crash and oops broken bones cos the seat is made of chocolate metal!

 

[StuartTheFish]

I'm not suggesting that anyone should buy cheap by the way, I just don't get why people think bride are good in the first place.

 

[leedscal]

Who is talking about safety? How did that even come about, we were on about them looking **** not if they are safe or not lol
Wearing a helmet is safe, why don't you put one on in skyline when ya nipping to shops?
4 point harnesses are safe so let's all put a multicoloured one in our daily drivers :/

 

[Roba Fett]

I guess it's just a taste thing. I actually love the Bride ghosting colour scheme, but each to their own. I also really like Sparco seats, but as always with seats, it's finding the right rails first and foremost.

 

[podgehog]

Who is talking about safety? How did that even come about, ...

Because the build quality and safety goes towards justifying the price, which is what they were actually talking about before looks came into it...

 

[Roba Fett]

It seems you can get two nice Sparco bucket seats for the cost of a Bride recliner.

Just need to decide to get either bucket seats or recliners now.

Who has what, and what's your experience with them?

I personally see the bucket seat as having a great racing feel and are cost effective, however, recliners are more comfortable, but are expensive.

 

[StuartTheFish]

Like I say I prefer my gtr seats, I've been in reclining recaros before and can't say they were all that comfortable after driving a while. The gtr ones are, yet they still seem to give plenty of support. Lighter than the standard seats too, and no messing about getting rails just to fit them.
