Default Bride seats fitting

Hi, I'm looking for as low a position as i can possibly get on Bride seats. Heard that mugen seats are almost the lowest but i dont really want them just as long as I can get Bride seats that are just around as low as the Mugens.

I was looking thru the website and had settled on either the GIAS or the VIOS. I am going for lightweight and was wondering if the GIAS is any more heavy than the VIOS?

Also, from searches i found the VIOS has no fitting problems for the glove compartment but does GIAS fit in easy too?

I'm a stocky guy at around 36 in waist so was wondering if that would be too snug for me?

vios III fits perfectly in the car. mugen with mugen rails will probably sit lower.

if you're a stocky guy with a 36 waist, i'd definitely NOT buy a vios III. it's a tight fit, especially in the shoulders.

i see. i'm asian tho so my shoulders arent that broad, just put on weight usually. regular waist size should be 34ish but i am so out of shape lol.

but damn the price diff between a gias and vios is wild

I have Stradias which are basically the exact same as the Gias but with slightly lower leg bolsters. They fit fine if you are using the Bride rails. No rubbing on the center console or compartment door.

I would say they are perfect for a size 34" waist. The only con is that it is not super light, lighter than the stock yeah but not 10 lbs.

Those are stradias? They really look like Gias. Can't see them on the Bride website tho. How much are they

c32,

I just noticed that you have an MY07, check the thread below as you will have to modify the passenger rail unless someone else came out with a rail since I installed mines.

Contact Steve @ evolution, I got mines through him as well as many other parts at excellent prices.

The different between the Stradia and the Gias is minimal. The lower bolster (by your legs) is tapers down towards the front on the Stradias. The Gias is high all the way. I would advise against the Gias unless you really want to spend 5 minutes getting in and out of the car
The Stradias hold you real well and they make it "easier" to get in and out of the car.

You make a real good point on the climbing in and out. I dont mind but any passengers will probably have to crawl out or wave their legs in the air.

My car is an 07 so will i be able to do the passenger side too?

The vios has like the same height bolsters as the GIAS yep?
