Bride GIAS Low Max

[Roen]

Questions:

1. Do they fit in an FC in the Low Max configuration or do you need custom rails? Sitting in the 91 FC seats which are the lowest that I've found, my head still hits the sunroof with a helmet on.

2. Do they still have door trim issues with the FD when the seat is moved all the way back? Do you need custom door trim to get around this?

3. How's the fit for a taller person with a gut? I really hope I don't have to P90X to fit in these seats.

I still need answers to my questions.

I have a set of original (carbon reclining versions) from Bride Japan. Can't speak to the FC, but in an FD they DO rub the door panel with the seats all the way back and slightly reclined. I'm 5'10 with a 32 inch inseam, so I can get by with the seat forward a few clicks. The main thing to worry about is your waist. Mine is 34 inch and it's very snug. If you are any wider you will be uncomfortable. Also, these seats are only rated for 175 lbs or less, which rules out most of us. I DO really like them, but to be quite honest, I thought they would be considerably lighter than my stock R1 seats. NOPE. Stock R1 seats are actually a pound or two lighter (each) than these with rails attached. Just an FYI!

Without doing any measurements and based on my experiences with the FC I'm going to say you'll still have helmet-sunroof clearance problems. I'm not very tall (5'-10") and I don't have a Bride seat (OMP WRC) but I still didn't have enough headroom with the OMP seat brackets at the lowest setting sitting directly on the stock seat mounting points (the lateral braces on the floor, not the stock sliders/brackets). I'm currently going through the process of cutting these mounts out and re-reinforcing the floor. This should buy me an extra ~1 of headroom.
