I think if the perrin ones are adjustable, they would be good. I am definitely by no means an expert on this, and Shane would know more... but, I've always heard to get the adjustable ones so I don't think the perrin's would be so bad. Maybe you can shed some light, Shane!

Also, Shane, I was curious if you knew why Scott is always reccomending getting a 26mm front ba and no rear bar. Wouldn't this worsen your under/over steer conditions? I haven't even seen a 26mm bar online in my travels. I'm just wondering about the logic behind this because I guess I just can't see it!

In other news, my seat will be here Wednesday! I got the last existing wrx bride seat bracket in the country w00t!=)

For now, yes. The bride seats won't accomodate anyone larger than me, and seeing as I have family coming soon and a track day at road atlanta [where the instructor will undoubtedly be larger than me], I am waiting to do the passenger seat.

It's cost prohibitive as well, since with shipping, seat, and bracket the bill comes to $1140. I can really only afford to do the driver's seat until August. They'll both be done in time for the big shows though [HIN and NOPI]. I'm also working on getting fabric for the backseat and door panels.

rice style? I don't necessarily think that having only one race seat is rice style!

i agree to you in one point that it does look clean with two of the same seats.

If people want to waste their money on off-brand seats its their fault, but it doesn't look rice. I don't know the word rice in the import scene is getting out of control.

Shit if the off-brand seats were comfortable and don't wearoff i'll get me a pair, use the rest for tires hehe. But since they are not, bride and recaros all the way!

I know plenty of BMW & Porsche club racers who only have one race seat & the factory passengerSeat...
because you don't race with someone riding shotgun (except rally).
So I think it looks racey... not ricey.
Just my two cents (or Deutchmarks for that matter... lol :) ).

Yay! The flex system was just brought to my door by my leasing office. [I tried to carry it out of the office but it weighed entirely too much!]

Tein hooked it up with the goodies! I got roll call stickers, an actual Tein plastic/metal badge for the back of my car, tons of coilover stickers, the tein url sticker....and the best part of all:

A sequence strip of stickers of dampachi doing a little dance! He's all shakin' his lil coilover booty and his arms and eyes are all googling around. Hahah it's like 9 little stickers long and I HAVE to find a place for it on my car. It is just too, too funny. Hopefully Wednesday will find the coilovers in my car.

<3 Dampachi!
