Fixed buckets for tiny people? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Tiny person here - 5'5 and 135#.

I am small. So far, I have sat in one seat that fit well, a Bride of some sort that I did not gather enough info from (grr).

Can anyone suggest seats to look at, or which Bride it might have been? I have tried all the usual suspects, and the smaller Sparcos and Corbeaus are not really close-fitting enough to make it worth the $$$. I would have to add foam to the sides and that is just a pain.

Thank you!

Most Brides fit small as they're made for Japan/Asia market. I'd focus on Bride and other brands who's main consumer base is Asia as those people are generally smaller.

I second Brides, I am 5'7, 135 and I have found them to be the most comfortable and snuggest fit.

Cusco makes a pretty narrow fixed back seat. I can't recall the name, but at 5'6 and 170lbs with a size 30 waist it wasn't too comfortable for me.

Haha that's like them! I didn't notice the Bride badging.

EDIT- Looking through Google images, I guess it'd have to have been the Bride Zeta III. I feel silly for not knowing this, you can tell I don't dabble in seats often. Online reviews of the seat don't seem to reflect what I experienced though. Forget my suggestion

Yeah, Bride badge is very small compared to Cusco, but it's legit Bride seats. Type-R sides are bit tight on this fatass, but in general it's nice.

btw I'm 5'9"ish w 180lbs
