360 Aftermarket seats to gain more interior room for taller driver.

The first set of Bride seats I bought and installed were the Euroster II seats with the Bride YZ seat rail/slider, I didn't quite like the color of the suede so I just recently switch to a set of Bride Vorga seats with the Bride RO seat rail/slider.

 

Thanks Johnny, can you relate which ones sat you lower in the car?

Also, I am not finding the Vorga model on the internet, is that the model or the color? Or maybe you have the same model different color?

You have no idea how much your posts have saved time for all of us looking for lower seats! Thanks so much!

 

You won’t find the Vorga on their website anymore, they discontinued the seat a couple years ago so I had to find some used in good shape. The Vorga sits about a 1/2 lower than the euroster but that’s really only because of the thinner but cushion.

if you’re looking for something sporty I’d look at the Stradia II found here https://bride-jp.com/en/seat/stradia/ if you want something a little wider go with the Stradia XL and if you want something that’s more bucket seat like but still reclines, there is the Gias.

everything available from Bride for the 360/430 platform can be found here.

If you need help know who to order from or any other questions, send me a message. Hopefully this helps many people in the future who either don’t want oem seats, don’t want to spend $10k on oem carbon seats or people who just want to be different, like me. I’ve still only found two other 430’s with Bride seats in them through internet searches, hoped there’s more or will be more out there.

 

Interested ... I want either chrono or r600

 

I’m interested. I just need to figure out what seat to use. I was kinda disappointed to hear how high the SPX seating position was vs the stock Daytona after seeing how perfect the reupholster job turned out on the above set. Hopefully it can get lower with a different mount or we will at least be able to get some seat to roof measurements to lead us to the right choice. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I measured 36 inches, seat to roof. The seat is in it’s lowest position. I’m 6’2” and this leaves just under 2” from the top of my head to the roof. Definitely feels like I’d need at least another 2” to wear a helmet as the roofline is curving down and to the left at the seated position.

I am interested in the “new” planted brackets and perhaps the Braid seats? Very interested to see what comes of the planted job as I am sure MANY other folks are as well. It seems to be a widespread issue of needing a lower seat height.

 

I am very interested in this sliders as well, assuming they will provide 1 - 1.5" lowering

 

I used to have the Planted, and they were too high. If they're willing to revise them, and make them lower, then that's great news!

 

Okay ready to know more can you advise who to order through? Thanks

 

Im used to bmw where my bum sits far back and has an incline for my legs

I found if i set the seat the same i run out of headroom (im almost 6ft) so i flatten the daytona electric seat and i fit fine

 

Correct, you use a more reclined seating position; more straight armed driving. But that is always the case for tall people in sports cars.

 

There are a ton of retailers for them but feel free to message me what you were looking for and I’ll let you know who I ordered through.

 

Thank you! You are a gentleman.

Did anyone get any further with the bride seat and side mounts / runners? Desperate to find a solution!
Thanks for any update you can give

 

I just had an '04 manual gearbox 360 delivered last week. After having a few CS's, I hate the "sitting on top" of this car as opposed to the sitting "in" the car feeling the CS provides. To that end, I bit a huge bullet and bought a very used set of large, charcoal, factory sport seats off of ebay. Right size, right color for my interior, carbon backed sport seats......unobtanium....had to grab them. When they come in and I get them put in, i'll report impressions. Hoping they will be about 1" lower.

 

Planted brackets with sliders is above manual seat height, very annoying. So you must cut and weld them. They also weight a ton!

 

Did anyone else notice Beda first post after 17 year membership??!!!!
Wow!!!

 

Ha! Joined as a kid, now trying to buy!

 

Got the seats in from ebay and installed. 100% improvement. I do sit at the same height as I did in my CS's. Which is to say about an inch lower than electric daytonas. I bought a dye kit and sorted that worn bolster as well. Seats looks amazing and have transformed my driving experience.

 

Awesome!

All the best,
Andrew.

 

I’ve had a few different Bride seat styles in my car. They’ve all worked great with the bride rails.

Actually have a set of red Euroster 2 with 360/430 rails for sale right now. These are them from when they were in the car. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
