Evo 9 recaros? or Brides? inputs please

[2GEEZEY]

My next purchase I will be getting some nice seats to spice up my interior .

I cant decide on whether to go with the recaros or a set of brides? I think recaros look more factory and I love the leather, but i like the brides aswell.

I was wondering how you guys fit in the brides? they seem pretty tight fit, and if anyone has pics of bride lo maxx's in there car that would be great.

I think either one would look sick no matter what. Lol I know that doesn't help at all, sorry.

Evo Racarros are cheaper.

I'd go with the Evo recaro's, but I heard you have to modify the rail all kinds for them to work.

There are sveral ways to get the Recaros to bolt in a 2g and one is purchasing "wedge" brackets and doing small modifications to them. Another is modifying the stock ones to bolt in which can be more work. Both have been done in the past. If you have access to the link forum then you can just check out the discussion on there that refers to the installation process of the Recaro's.

Personally I would just get the Recaro's since they're so nice and have a more OEM look to them in a 2G than the Brides do.

I'm 5'10 145 and had no problem fitting in them . I sold them to a friend who kept bugging me about them. I had the knockoff style seats but they are identical to the real one's in material and size and they both aren't tested by FIA for all the haters. Basically I sold the fiberglass bucket seats to get some reclineable's.

do they make knockoff brides that recline?

I'm also 5'10" 142 lbs and i fit fine. But my little brother who's 6' 230 lbs does not haha. I like them, and my girl doesnt complain. And yes it is much more comfortable if you have reclineables, and A/C.

And with brides you can redo your interior with bride fabric!
