Started watching subispeed, Dustin, TJ and Throtl back in 2014 and I just want to say seeing where they are now I’m excited to see you grow to that level cause I know you’ll have no issues with it!! Loving the content brother 👌🏼
Makes me really wish that we had a red interior option here in the states like they do in Japan. It would even be cool on the base trims to be able to get red cloth seats. Cause God knows that the almost completely black GR86 interior needs some color.
Dam that's a shame. I ordered the red interior for mine here in Australia. Must be a right hand drive thing, they only made the red carpets for RHD or something. Seems wierd they couldn't do the same for LHD given the size of the market for those is much bigger.
I've actually always had an eye on a set of these since I was just getting into the car scene. I think they look amazing, definitely compliment the red on red with the carbon fiber accents; extremely tasteful!
Thanks again for this vid. I just had to reassemble a passenger seat that had the rails taken apart and all the wiring and sensors removed, and this vid showed a couple things I wasn't sure how to route! 👍
Bride seats are so damn good! The red is the way to go, beautiful seats. I have been wanting to order the new BRIDE KING ZETA IV FRP KEIICHI TSUCHIYA SPECIAL EDITION MODEL IN RED that recently came out and this solidifies it.
Those seats are super nice! I always dreamed of owning a pair of the black bride gias III’s with the bride logo on them. But I think im going to look those pairs up in the future. Now what I think would complement those seats well is a set of oem vertex steering wheel on the car 👌🏼
👏 Excellent choice, I also chose the red Bride over the other option 👍 Fresh JDM red 🥰 👍 Oh, the Bride seat is also adjustable, nice I also drive my car with my seat recline back, too 😆
they look awesome! i wonder if the back seats are now more usable, they definitely free some space for more legroom but can you fit your shoes underneath them?
Seeing that the seats recline removes any doubts on the question of livability. The red really does look good in the all black interior and if I hadn't gotten the premium trim on my own GR86 (and if I was a thinner built person) then I would seriously consider a seat swap. Can't wait to see what's next.
@Kevin Vo Been loving all your content my man, recent subscriber/supporter. You're doing great and can wait to see more 86 content. Love all the mods you've done so far, I would absolutely love to see some MPG increasing mods if possible!
I'm guessing those are the GIASIII. Would love to see those paired with some 4 point harnesses for the ultimate "you ain't going nowhere" feeling. I put some red OMP harnesses that really pop in mine, and doubled up the lap brackets with the oem belts. Did the trick with the ignition on and connecting the oem buckle a bunch of times to disable the seat belt warning. Used the child seat anchors above the rear seats with lock nuts and 1/2'"x3/4" carriage bolts for the square shoulder to match the anchor bracket. Was super tight working back there but got it all done. I'll find out in two weeks when I go for autocross tech inspection if someone else thinks I did a good job.
This was me last weekend, but going the other way. Bought a car with race seats. Wasn't happy with the install, so went back to stock. I'm gonna need a solution for the occupancy sensor that's better than just shoving the stock wiring under the new seat when I eventually put them back in.
Looks soooo damn clean man! Was thinking maybe a red shifter boot or knob just to give it that last accent of red in the inside? Nothing too crazy or tacky but either way, absolute fire as usual
Hey Kevin! I’ve been curious what your thoughts are on these seats after having them for awhile now? And how the bolstering compares to stock, even though it’s a more mild side bolstering than other seats do you still feel pretty planted? Ty! Great videos!

New seats look amazing, have you found a website for seats or is it just ebay, or maybe Amazon, love that you traveled to Japan, fun q and a videos, the break trunk bar is cool, hope companies make bar lights , better ones, I love my trunk button, lol so yeah one that make us all really excited for, thanks for the videos
always wanted to own bucket seats but I've been afraid it would be uncomfortable. I'm 6'0" with long legs. One of these days, I'll have to visit a store to try them out. They look comfortable!
Excellent video! I am looking at a Bride seats recently for my car which I drive mostly on track. Would this suffice you think? I am thinking between this, the GIAS III or even a fixed bucket seats. Any good suggestions here? :)
i have the nice, heated, leather and alcantara stock brz seats with the red stitching and "BRZ" embroidered on the headrest and i still want to replace them with these brides 😂😂 i'd probably regret it as i get older but g** damn red brides just look SO damn cool
Most JDM seats unless otherwise noted are made for smaller Asian bodies. They do have dimensions you can check out on their website, but I'm not sure I'd recommend this for a larger person as the bolstering would probably become uncomfortable.
Have you installed a 6 point harness in it yet or know anyone that has and documented it by chance? Got the new race seat in the widebody easy enough but not sure the right way to mount the new 6 point harness :/
Is there a way to make the 2023 gr86 seats electric adjustable? I know the keep them manual adjust due to weight…..but I don’t want the car for performance. Lol. I want it for looks and nice Sunday drives. I also only want an automatic. I know I know.
I bought them from a contact I have in Japan. You can find them on at Vivid Racing or Evasive. www.vividracing.com/bride-stradiaiii-red-standard-cushion-silver-frp-shell-reclining-seat-p-153811208.html
Kevin, are you able to tell how much lower you sit? My helmet hits the roof with the stock seats so I need to drop down a bit. Also, what about seat airbags? Where I live it's a bit of a legal problem to replace airbag seats with non-airbag. Any idea if there's any way to modify the stock seat to sit a bit lower similar to in the old miatas?
Hey sorry I have a question I have also just installed bride seat in my driver and now my air bag light is on (srs). I have the stock seat belt installed. What do you think is the problem? And if you know how do I solve it?
Yes, I waited about 6 months for these. I ordered them through a personal contact I have in Japan. I've asked if I can share their info and I'm waiting to hear back.
Wow, this is actualy amazing. They look awesome. Luckily, i can save a lot of money not bying these cause im super bad at this and i would fail to install the wiring 😀

Looks insane. Was skeptical at first about the red on red but it goes! Sick upgrade
Honestly I was a bit worried myself, but damn once I saw them I had no regrets!
@@KevinVo where did you source these seats from? What site?
God, those look incredible with the red exterior. They remind me of the old Type R seats.
I like that you let us know what you can't show us and will show us afterwards. Great communication.
As always a perfect presentation. Aside from the seats looking absolutely fantastic, your installation video is superb, flawless.
I've actually always had an eye on a set of these since I was just getting into the car scene. I think they look amazing, definitely compliment the red on red with the carbon fiber accents; extremely tasteful!
Did you ever get the passenger seat harness situation sorted or na?
Wondering the same
Did these provide additional headroom?
Those seats are beautiful and look like they were made for the car. Unexpected and awesome upgrade!
We agree!
They look good! In my mind red seats in a red car is a bit too much but it looks like it works well, especially in a dark interior.
I think because the interior is black with red stitching it's just the right amount of contrast.

Bride > everything! That occupancy sensor will be great info for my 2020 STI build

Gosh its so cool opening the garage and seeing the GR86 and FRS. Great video as always, seats looks absolutely stunning!
👏 Excellent choice, I also chose the red Bride over the other option 👍
Fresh JDM red 🥰 👍
Oh, the Bride seat is also adjustable, nice I also drive my car with my seat recline back, too 😆
They're the perfect mesh of function and form!
Dope seats! But we need a driving comfort review sir!
Red on red looks dope!!!
Really enjoyed the video! Do you have a guestimate at the kind weight savings between the OEM seats vs the Brides?
I wish Toyota offered the Recaro 86 GR seats as a factory option in the US. Keeps the side airbag and won't risk invalidating the warranty.
open new parts is all the time soooooo niceeeeee!
Keep up the good work, you will never look back being your own boss, looking forward to another video containing on these seats
Seat is such a huge part of a car`s interior and these seats really are eye catching 😍
they look awesome! i wonder if the back seats are now more usable, they definitely free some space for more legroom but can you fit your shoes underneath them?
There is a bit more space, but I don't think I'd want to stuff an adult back there still.
the seats look really good with the paint
I think so too!!
Seeing that the seats recline removes any doubts on the question of livability. The red really does look good in the all black interior and if I hadn't gotten the premium trim on my own GR86 (and if I was a thinner built person) then I would seriously consider a seat swap. Can't wait to see what's next.
Thanks for watching!!
Consider looking at corbeau they have optional heated seats that you could wire directly to the factory switch, plus they come in red as well.
So clean.. can't wait get a set for my fa5.
Keeps getting better and better, keep it up brother!
Seats are fire!!!! I’m sure there some weight savings there as well… how heavy are the stock seats vs the Brides??
Looks so good! Time to get red seatbelts. Check out Safety Restore they can swap your belts and reskin the OEM ones!
found your channel when you lost your job, stuck around like many many others. LOVE them seats man that rides looking great!:)
Welcome aboard! Appreciate your support!
@Kevin Vo Been loving all your content my man, recent subscriber/supporter. You're doing great and can wait to see more 86 content. Love all the mods you've done so far, I would absolutely love to see some MPG increasing mods if possible!
These reds were my vote! And I was not disappointed at all. They look great! Well done!
Makes me so happy to see someone have two bad ass cars and the smile when they receive their parts. Good shit bro they look amazing
Perfectly fit in the interior.
I'm guessing those are the GIASIII. Would love to see those paired with some 4 point harnesses for the ultimate "you ain't going nowhere" feeling.

These are the Stradia III. I believe the Gias III has a bit more aggressive bolstering which I didn't want to deal with in a daily driver.
I've been looking at purchasing a set of these for a while but I can't seem to find where to buy them. Where did you get yours?
I had a personal contact from Japan. Hmmm maybe I should start sourcing these for people.
@@KevinVo I feel many people would be interested
Glad they’re making ya grin ear to ear! Awesome upgrade!
Yes they are!!
This was me last weekend, but going the other way. Bought a car with race seats. Wasn't happy with the install, so went back to stock.
I'm gonna need a solution for the occupancy sensor that's better than just shoving the stock wiring under the new seat when I eventually put them back in.
They look great on your car and for someone who wants a fixed back seat I'm sure it'll be nice.
Looks soooo damn clean man! Was thinking maybe a red shifter boot or knob just to give it that last accent of red in the inside? Nothing too crazy or tacky but either way, absolute fire as usual
Looks awesome and functional. Your new videos are even more inspirational.
waiting for the solution of the occupancy sensor, that is the only thing hold me back getting bucket seats.
GREAT CHOICE KEVIN! Bride all the way (might or mightve not been biased after seeing how red Bride seats look in Maaya Orido's GR86 🤭)
Beautiful looking seats, love the adjustability. As others have mentioned would be great to know weight difference. 👍
yeah
I forgot to weight them, but I will once I take them out to fix the sensors.
@@KevinVo Thankyou

Forgot to, but I will when I take them out to fix the sensors!
that seat sensor is a nice touch
Can you by chance post a photo of the underside of the stock seat?
I just put in recaro profile xl into my STI and I had the same big smile. Just so freaking awesome.
Cant wait to see more great content, should be taking delivery of my 23 BRZ at the end of the month
Hey can you make a video on the air bag seat trick? As well as an update on the passenger seat really wanna do this to my 22 wrx 😅

You can get JDM seats through Vivid Racing or Evasive.
I wish they made aftermarket seats with airbags for the streets that you could easily disable for track driving, though these are already $2500 each.
They do, but they're very very expensive.
always wanted to own bucket seats but I've been afraid it would be uncomfortable. I'm 6'0" with long legs. One of these days, I'll have to visit a store to try them out. They look comfortable!
I'm 6' 165lbs and I fit in these perfectly!
Awesome choice of seat for this car. 👌
Looks amazing, Kevin. Great choice for your car.
Did you check the weight difference with the stock seat ?
Big up star gotta hav tha red guts in tha whip fam ur killin tha game fr my g
Excellent video! I am looking at a Bride seats recently for my car which I drive mostly on track. Would this suffice you think? I am thinking between this, the GIAS III or even a fixed bucket seats. Any good suggestions here? :)
Happy to see you smiling again brotha!! Keep it up!
Thank you!!!
cool seats !!! does it make the legroom for the backseat passenger more spacious?
Kevin, I am still interested to know how you solved the problem with the passenger airbag after changing the seat. Thanks for your videos.
Still a work in progress.
Those seats look WILD. Congrats
Those seats are fire! Getting a set for my GR Corolla
I want these so bad! But my poor heated seat system 😢
i have the nice, heated, leather and alcantara stock brz seats with the red stitching and "BRZ" embroidered on the headrest and i still want to replace them with these brides 😂😂 i'd probably regret it as i get older but g** damn red brides just look SO damn cool
Nice video! btw what is the difference in weight? Thx from Germany
Enjoying the build man.
Do you recommend this for bigger guys? (bigger hips) Love the videos man, Keep it up!
Most JDM seats unless otherwise noted are made for smaller Asian bodies. They do have dimensions you can check out on their website, but I'm not sure I'd recommend this for a larger person as the bolstering would probably become uncomfortable.
Have you installed a 6 point harness in it yet or know anyone that has and documented it by chance? Got the new race seat in the widebody easy enough but not sure the right way to mount the new 6 point harness :/
Can you please share the web where you purchased the seats?
So will this setup work exactly the same for a 1st gen FRS?
Yo anyone know where to get those SEATS? They are 🔥🔥🔥
I may need to start selling them.
@@KevinVo where? Haha
Is it possible to raise those seats a bit higher for rear passenger feet clearances?
Is there a way to make the 2023 gr86 seats electric adjustable?
I know the keep them manual adjust due to weight…..but I don’t want the car for performance. Lol.
I want it for looks and nice Sunday drives.
I also only want an automatic. I know I know.
Was wondering about the space in the back seats after swap to the BRIDEs
Love the new Brides!
I been eyeing seats all this time... got any recommendations for replacing the heated seats from the BRZ? Are there even heated bucket seats?
You'd likely have to install aftermarket heating elements to get heated bucket seats.
@@KevinVo Thank you. Will keep that in mind for the future!
Can u help to put link for that chair? Where to buy i mean? Thank you
I bought them from a contact I have in Japan. You can find them on at Vivid Racing or Evasive.

I don't know exactly how much lower but it does have a slightly lower seating position. The airbag is just a personal choice.
dont tempt me to buy a gr86. it looks so sick how your project is coming out so far.
Did the seats lower your center of gravity in the seat compared to the oem seats?
Yes, lower seating position.
Is there better leg room in the back with these seats? Or the same?
Wow they look incredible ❤
I said in the poll that I wouldnt take red on red.
Nevermind. Looks fire🔥
Glad I could change your mind!!
Hey sorry I have a question I have also just installed bride seat in my driver and now my air bag light is on (srs). I have the stock seat belt installed. What do you think is the problem? And if you know how do I solve it?
Did you get the low cushion option or standard?
Seats are on my wishlist, but I heard the wait time is crazy ..
Yes, I waited about 6 months for these. I ordered them through a personal contact I have in Japan. I've asked if I can share their info and I'm waiting to hear back.
Kev, does the black stripes bother you?
Not at all!
You like those better then the Recaro SPG?
Are the bolsters wider in the Bride seats? The stock seats bolsters cut into my chonky sides.
Eh, these might be tighter if anything.
How much more rear passenger leg room did that free up
I can’t find these seats anywhere can you please point me in that direction!!
seats look perfect
Where did you get the carbon door sill from?
Axis Parts of Japan
Wow, this is actualy amazing. They look awesome. Luckily, i can save a lot of money not bying these cause im super bad at this and i would fail to install the wiring 😀
You can do it!
those seats are nice. I want one on my sti 😁. ive been watching you since i got my 2018 sti. 👌
