    Default bucket seat opinions, fixed vs adjustable etc

    hey guys


    Just looking at bucket seat, just wanted to get peoples opinions on a few things.


    first up, what are people using and how do they find them? whats the fitment like in their ae86/ke70 head room wise?


    Is anyone running a fixed back for a daily, if so is it comfortable for longish drives? or should i be looking at a reclinable for daily work.


    so far i'm looking at:



    also does anyone know places to buy recaro/bride/sparco seat locally? (sydney or aus) or is it mainly an online thing?

    Plenty of performance shops sell fixed back seats I got my sparco off ebay for $100 and made some rails myself for it and is quite comfortable.

    yea i know, but the performance shops that sell the seat i'm after seem to be in different states, meaning postage would be killer:/ what sparco do you have? and is it in your daily driver?

    Another thing i wanted to ask is, i know you can get bride RO rails so suit an AE70(pretty much bolt up to a ke70) for bride seats, but is there any rails out there that fit ke70's for recaros? or do both bride and recaros mount the same way?

    check out rpm race gear at silverwater,have heaps of seats in shop,fixed back are comfortable for a daily,just might get fucked by popo,rails youl prob have to get off the net or a forum or sumin,unless you can weld/cut/plan well,modified stocks usually sit gay and feel like a booster seat,theres a bride with rails in canberra for sale on this site atm

    yea just had a look at their site, will be dropping in there sometime soon to check out their seats. yea guess i gotta run that risk:/ yea i can get bride rails off RHD japan, yea would rather not have to make my own rails because as you said getting it sitting right would be a bit of a fk around. yea more after something locally if possible due to the postage, cheers anyway.

    Mine sits alright not sure what model it is came out of a rally car that never got used, I just welded some 3mm steel onto the original rails as low as I could get them. Sits good enough considering it cost me nothing. I'm sure you can get rails from japan for ke70 chassis, otherwise I have a bride passenger and just modded an 86 side mount rail to fit wasn't hard.

    Zeta would be fine for daily if you want a fixed back, comfy seats!

    I have a Brix 1 and it rules. You pretty much need to just sit in a seat and decide if it's for you or not.

    fixed backs rule.
    get a genuine recaro or if budget doesn't stretch get a velo gp90

    i rate my recaro over my bride vios 3, but only cause the bride is slightly smaller (bout 10mm wider)
    i'd probley get a zeta3 XL if i bought another bride.
