Just wanted to open up a discussion about these seats.

The most beautiful seats IMO for our cars. It's part of my build plan but being as I am in the united states, more specifically northern california, I haven't been unable to find anyone who has these seats. They look like a semi-bucket seat and curious as to what it might feel like for myself and other passengers.

I want these too but at like over 2 grand each no thanks

Japanparts.com is 2.5k for the pair. 3k after shipping.

Oh okay I thought they were a lot more! Too bad they are 3700 CAD before shipping :( I must have been looking at other seats that cost me

Yeah I'm just curious if anyone has these or has sat in them. I'd like to put them into my car but idk what would happen if a larger than myself person were to get into them. I'm 6feet 185 pounds and 34 waist.

Paging @supra2nv

Your measurements are pretty standard (I'm the same just 2" shorter:wub:) and I fit in most seats, even the tighter ones. I'd say things start to get uncomfortable passed 40 waist (I have some big friends).:cheers:

Believe he has them

as mentioned on Japanparts.com
* One-touch reclining mechanism (40-stage adjustment) is equipped.
* Hip point locates almost same position as standard seat.
* Side airbag to be canceled when TRD seat is installed.

Not sure what they mean when they mention the hip point. I am not sure- They do look like they sit at a similar height to stock, and it uses bottom mounts. I myself would prefer a seat that sat lower for better ergonomics(for me) and helmet clearance. The leg bolsters on the seats do look longer with a raised angle and the end which I like. Unknown fitment is the worst part, Japanese seats are usually on the narrow side.

I would try to find out if there is a size chart and if the left and right side seats have the same features.
Also find out if the mounts/sliders are included.

I'll send an inquiry to japanparts asking about the product to ask your same questions.

I love ordering from japan parts. I have ordered a number of things from them and their grammar sucks so bad its funny!!

If only we could get the Ts seats too!

I have yet to order everything but I am always on their site. They have 86 TRD parts for the 86 and I find it funny :lol: and honestly their grammar can't suck more than my co-worker's...

Oh trust me man sometime I get replies like "me think part fit Japan not sure oversea" and I was all like "you think it fits a JDM car but your not sure, dont you sell these parts for JDM cars?" The response was something like "sorry we think it will fit USDM car but cant guarantee it. There is no returns for parts that dont fit" But the other half the time its not that bad.

+1....i like the Ts seats a lot more than these

Could get them without the tS/STi label-- Recaro Sportster CS.

Have seen/sat in them before in an FRS-- they feel very nice... i wouldn't mind having a set of those...

A local shop has this seat (not the sti one) at his shop and I've sat in it. It's nice.

Are these just a TRD branded version of another seat? If so what mfg? Anyone have any ideas?

I believe ichi told me awhile back...

Love Recaro Sportster CS, they're very comfy, yet sporty. Of course, that was the whole purpose of that seat, so good job to Recaro.

I've tried both (TRD ver & Bride ver), they're pretty comfy. C'mon, it's Bride seats, they don't make shitty seats. ;)

If you wanna test em out, go to Cusco USA HQ (SoCal) and they have Bride Stradia on display you can prob sit in. Or ask em to sit in their STI (Driver side), iirc they still have Stradia in the STI.

Doesn't the TS one have the airbag or something to trip the sensor though?

Ichi if i may ask how big are you and how did u fit in the TRD seats?

5'9"~10" tall, 190~195lbs weight, 33~34 waist, sex-machine! Lmfao

Joke on the side, that's the spec for me. & I seriously loved it! I just sat TRD ver seat (cuz I was a judge for the car show), but I drove Cusco USA' STI which equipped w Bride Stradia & man, they're comfy driving with. If I had enough money to spent on the interior, I'll gladly fork over on these seats.

TBH it's cheaper just buy Bride ver than TRD ver. If you like the TRD seat cover design more, you can always custom upholster from local shop.

Hope that help you answer some questions

Yeah because ur shorter and heavier than me and u fit so i believe ill be fine! Sweet! Im excited about that because i love the look of these seats and theyll complete the look im going for with my build

They look nice, but i'd rather put those $3k approx into trading in my current car and buying the 2017/2018 one in and just buying sexy $500-700 car seat covers.


Just me.

I think they look awesome and I initially drooled over them, but I feel that the price (and mind you, I bought the TRD intake and exhaust) is just too excessive for what it is. I feel like you can get so much more for that kind of money and it can still look really nice. Being that they are from TRD, Im betting they aren't very lightweight, but I don't know what the weights are.

They are just reupholstered Bride Stradia seats... So whatever those seats weigh
