Bride Gias/Stradia or other, lower reclinable seat for Track/AutoX?
#21
I wouldn't really compare the Stradia (reclinable sports seat) to a Pole Position (bucket seat) unless you like comparing apples to bananas . I don't have any personal experience with the Pole Position, but I've owned Recaro SPGs in the past, and those are more "snug" than the Stradias, but that's due to their bucket seatedness. The other thing to keep in mind is that something like a Stradia works a lot better with stock seatbelts compared to a bucket seat, so you'd want to keep the intended use in mind also.
Define "economic vendor" - I bought my Stradia from one of the official dealers in the US (Evasive) because I wanted to be 100% sure that I got a genuine seat for genuine money. There are tons of fakes about and they're getting better (in the "avoiding the typical tell tale signs, not necessarily better quality wise), so buying used is a minefield unless you're buying from someone who can prove the provenance of the seat.

But yes, as OP says, just buy from a reputable vendor. these are $1500ish seats. If you find a seat for $300 or $500 it's probably too good to be true. There are a lot of fakes. I've commented on multiple 'how to tell a fake bride seat' threads on S2KI so i urge anyone interested to do the research and read those.
