I unbox, assemble & install the new King Series Stradia III from Bride. I also compare them vs stock and give my impressions. + Instagram: / chrislumnsx + Facebook: / chrislumnsx #NSX #acura #honda
... Awesome detailed video like always Chris! If I didn't already have new DC2 JDM seats in my ride I would have gone with these. They look REALLY good in your car! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the detailed video! Would you be able to measure the distance from the bottom seat cushion to the center of the wings? I was able to find the exterior dimensions which are useful for determining how well they fit in your car, but not necessarily to your body. I currently have a Pole Position, but don't like how much the wings roll forward my shoulders
My car is at the body shop right now but I will try to remember to do this whenever the car is back. How tall are you? My tall friend who is 6’-0 or 6’-1” said he didn’t like how the wings pushed his shoulders forward.
Yeah, I'm 6'0" with a long torso, so maybe this one won't be a good fit for me. It's pretty hard to find a seat that fits both me and my S2000 well @@ChrisLumNSX
I have been looking at these special edition seats for a while now for my RHD Prelude. I'm going to go with the Zeta's, what would be your suggestion on which Bride seat rail I should purchase (looking to do the same and have the seats as low as possible)? Seats look awesome in the NSX! Thanks for all the info & such an in-depth review.
nice choice. Go onto Bride's website and use their seat rail selector and they will tell you which ones work for your car. They may have different models that work, so you'll have to pay attention to the differences. Some rails sit lower than others and the lowest ones have a dual locking mechanism (no crossover wire or handle from left to right slider). These are not as convenient to slide front to back since you need to use both hands, but if you want to sit as low as possible that's what it takes.
@@ChrisLumNSX thank you! Will do. Man you have the exact spec I want for my black type s. Red Bride's, bronze TE's, and Spoon Calipers. Great job with the NSX!
The do, but not by much. The bolsters on the seat back hit the bolsters on the bottom half and since the seat has a rigid core like a bucket seat, the cushions don't have much "give"
I'm 5'6" and 180lb, waist is 34ish so not super skinny lol. these seats fit similar waist to a Recaro Pole Position. I can fit a SPG or RSG also, but it's a tiny bit tight...for reference!
No tilt adjustment since they’re bottom mount but they do offer two different leg cushion types, normal which is wedge shaped and low which is flat and thinner-I mention it briefly in my video. So you can use those to help a bit with tilt. Bride rails are really good though and typically are engineered to have a very good seating position based on the car they’re developed for.
Great vid, I want to pick up some Brides for my DC2 GSR. How do you get the passenger bride seat?? I only have the option for the drivers. If you see this please respond 🙏
The seats are universal between left or right. The part that is left or right specific is the seat rails. Brides website has a really good catalog that will walk you through all the parts you need, from seat to rail to any accessories you want. Check it out.
Is the seat adjustment range on the bride seat rails the same as the stock seat rails on the NSX? I'm 5'2" and want get aftermarket Bride seats for my NA1, but I am always afraid with aftermarket seats and seat rails, that I can't clutch in all the way without full extension. The previous owner had some old Recaro Pole Positions with I think Recaro seat rails and I couldn't fit because I am a smol boi and he probably had a tall setup. The seat belt position was also not in a safe position. With the stock seats I can fit fine, but I want something to hold me better especially if I take it to the track.
yes Bride Stradia should be able to accommodate you at your height. And you won't have any issue with the seat belts since it's not a full bucket seat.
My stock ND Miata seat does not have any waist support and make my back feel pain in a 40-min drive. So I am considering a Stradia III. I am wondering how it feels when you have a long-distance drive. Will it be too stiff? Does it give you enough support for your back and waist?
For me it’s perfectly fine for 3-5 hr trips (that’s the longest I’ve been in them). But everyone is different. The Stradia aren’t as plush as some other seats. The cushions aren’t super thick. But that’s what I personally like about them
@@ChrisLumNSX Thanks! I just ordered the latest Stradia III Evo-S. It says the bottom cushion is 15mm thicker than a regular one on thier website. Finally a good seat make my Miata more enjoyable.
Thank you. I think it only took 3 mos or so but it could vary for each person since it just depends on Brides production schedule and who you order from. I ordered from RHD Japan and got them air shipped but if you order from a USA based shop that gets parts using containers then it could add a month extra for transit.
I’m guessing all Gias and Stradia come with the sensor now but it’s something you’d want to confirm with whoever you’re buying from. This is the fourth time I’ve owned a Stradia over the past 15 years and the first time I’ve seen the sensor.
