Bride, for no reason other than emotional. Rationally, would not buy either of them.

I had the Gias in my old car, theyre great seats NOT light because of the brackets and such but they hold you pretty well...they were lighter then my stock seat but not by much. But held better then any other bucket Ive sat in.

Is there something wrong with the stock seats?

My vote is the BRZ tX recaro seats w/ the bolster air bags.

Honestly, I spent a lot of time thinking and planning to go aftermarket with my seats - but after an unexpected accident with my FR-S, I realized the tremendous value in having airbags. Unless your car is designated for the track and you've got a full cage, harnesses, etc, I really wouldn't mess with the seats.

Accidents are not always caused by us, even the best drivers have been struck by idiot drunks, speeding teens, or even someone falling asleep at the wheel. You don't want insurance giving you a reason not to help you out when God forbid you need it the most. Just my 2 cents.

However, I'm not going to lie, Bride's look great.

Not at all. The stock seats are amazing. At some point however I will change them. Just curious to see which ones people would prefer out of the two. I hear great things about both brands.

Are you looking for something more "racecar feel" (not even joking here) or comfort? I know the GIAS is a good choice if you want reclinable, but frankly, in my BRZ I almost never touch my seat settings, and I sit with a very "proper" driving position.

Because of this, if I were to change my seats out, I'd probably go with a fixed back bucket. If I'm going to lose airbags, I might as well cut out weight and unnecessary features. A great one is the Pole Position (IMO) by Recaro.

Honestly, I'm just looking to waste money on things that I don't need but want. I never Change my seat setting either, however I like knowing that if for some reason I need too, I can.

For the time being, this would be for cosmetics.

I hear you man - the GIAS just look badass - esp the ones with the Venus paintjob, ugh. I vote those... or the CF backed Cusco branded Brides!

The Cisco brides are beautiful! I'd like to see the Gias with Venus paint job, I'll have to look those up.

I agree!

I love the seats that are in my BRZ but if I were to swap them out with something, I would go with Bride Cusco Zeta IIIs. Just wish it said BRIDE instead of CUSCO on the headrest.

Found another thread here on FT86Club..
