Which Bride seats for the X?

I am looking into getting Bride seats for my Evo X this week. These seats are going to be used for daily driving most of the time with occasional track use. I want to make sure the stock seat belts will work with these seats. Any suggestions on which Brides to get. Also I would like the prive to be less than $1500.00 per seat. Thanks

Thanks- I will check into the Gias II. Is this seat in your car? I am going to research to find away to shut off the airbag light. I think a bypass resistor might do it, but right now I cannot think of the correct name for it. Any problems with the stock seatbelts? I know these seats are designed for a 4 piont harness.

I had a set of the original GIAS and they were great. But... Keep in mind that the side bolsters are really high and the seats mount really low so getting in and out can be a chore at times... Also, if you ever planning on using a harness, the GIAS does not accomodate a 5/6pt. Oh... and if your waist is anything larger than 34 you will not be comfortable. I'm a 32 and it's pretty snug

Thant's another concern is how low the seats are to the floor. Is there any way to adjust the seat height?

OK thanks. I am looking at the Vorga ($1400.00) and the Gias Sport Hybrid racing seat. ($1250) although the Gias sids are a little high. The other seat the looks good is the Low Max Stradia Sport. I like this seat the best-but I have to weight 3 weeks to get it. Anybody have experience with the above seats? Is the 4 point harness comfortable to wear on the road?

If you want a comfortable seat, the ZETA III L is your best bet. Not too tight but still very supportive. You also have more options in regards to brackets and adjustability...
As for using harnesses everyday, I wouldn't do it unless your using a harness bar (And then your passengers can't sit in the back) and using a Schroth ASM 4pt. Schroth makes some DOT legal 4pt harnesses that I was thinking about using in my old car and have heard good things about.

Gias Stradia Sport Seats

This is the one with the low bolster. Perfect for daily driving IMO.

I was looking at the AMS harness bar. So why can't passengers sit in the back? Is the bar in the way.

How do the Bride seats work with the normal Evo seatbelt. Is it a simulair fit at the stock Recaros? I may just skip the 4-point harness for now.
