Track, that's what I've been doing. The Brides Zeta III-Type S seem to be perfect for both me and fitment in the car. The problem is, they cost what I want to pay for a pair. I suppose I could argue to myself the seats will last a long time and can be used in any future car. I could tell myself it's a safety item and go with the baller seats.
$1600 for a pair of seats though..... Uggggg, I need to get drunk before I click buy.

So, it looks like the Zeta III Type-S for midgets would be the perfect fit for car and driver. However, if anyone other than my scrawny butt drives the car they will not be so comfortable. Looking at the measurements, the Zeta III would still fit me OK. Then I find for $200 less you can get the Zeta III Sport with the same specs, just not all the frills and leather.
I'm also kicking the idea of getting one Type-S and one Sport. If someone bigger needs to drive it, I can swap the two seats. Thoughts?

That's what I fear Joe! If I get Brides, do I have to grow my hair out, sag my pants, worship the Fast and Furious movies and refer to all cars by their JDM engine codes yo?
I can't help it Japanese things fit me better.

I don't know, I just feel if you are dropping legit-bride money, you got a lot of options that don't come with the poser stigma.
Have you looked at OMP? What about those Momos you were considering btw?
Or talk Phil into selling you his Elise seats!
