I told myself I was done with modding cars years ago but the mod bug bites in mysterious ways. So here is how she stand after 3 years of stock-ness.

I want your seats, they look so sexy.

I love Type-R theme you have going on. How do you like the Bride seat rails? The ones I bot fit like crap and had to be modified to work

docomo Sep 22, 2012 10:54 PM

Compared to stock, the sitting position of the RO rails don't slide back far as I'd hoped for (I'm 6ft) but other than that I also noticed the weld marks and the fit and finish I'd give it a 8/10. The mounting to the Recaros are spot on tho, so I'd recommend them.

Does it lower the seating position at all? I need to address the seats in my GD.

Subscribed. I plan to do this in the future and good to know what rails, parts, and other info. I want to sit lower and have better bolster and support. Any issues with the airbag light, did you do any sort of mods like a resistor?

The seating position is much lower and increases headroom dramatically.
Feels like sitting in my CR-Z (basically sitting on the floor). I'll have some side by side shots for you guys when more parts arrive and are installed.

I haven't sorted out the airbag light issue, it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would (knowing it would light up after the seats install). If someone has a DIY for the resistor mod I'd be more than glad to fix it.

That looks good.

phenoyz Nov 6, 2012 09:33 PM

how the ride w/ the bilstein? (is that the lowest setting)

docomo Nov 6, 2012 10:06 PM

The drop now is 3/4" but I think when the springs settle in they will get the 1" i was anticipating for.

The ride is smoother than before but just a tad lower than stock. Its my DD so I want it comfortable. Hard to say if handling improved because I think the Conti DWS improved the road noise and handling more-so than the stock bridgestones.

Damn. those center caps. So good.
