SR3 vs SR4

[GU357]

Whats the major differences between the seats?
im in need of a pair of new bucket seats, i had a recaro sr3 before and i liked it, but the seat back was quite fat and robs the rear passengers.
is the SR4 thinner? also im a size 30 around the waist and the sr3 hugged me like we were newly weds is the sr4 as huggy?
and ergonomics which is better?
all that kinda stuff.

thanks guys

Sr3 bit thinner
I like the feel of both
You will be fine in the sr3

Sr4 for the slightly larger :/

Ok, Honda noob q..

What car did the Sr4 seats come in?

I am of this larger size you see

[GU357]

DC5r and EP3
anyone have thoughts on replica bride gias?

[senna]

Hmmm, I see...

I remember sitting in a DC5R, might need to look at DC5S seats...lol

[CRXDEL501]

Leather = naaaaahhhhh

[GU357]

i dunno if the DC5S came with recaros, i think not. they just had regular standard bucket seats. but look into bride seating if you are of the larger because they have sizes but omg so expensive 1600bucks each is hefty money.
maybe an sr6 is wider again

also anyone have thoughts on replica bride seats, i hear they are ok but meet no standards (not tested). in perth i can only get sr4's no sr3's around locally so maybe have to order some bride replicas on ebay instead

[senna]

The DC5S seats are basically Sr4 seat back with a wider base for American fat asses...

Bride reps are like all reps, not as good quality. I'd rock an ADR autotechnica seat before a bride rep

dont get ep3r seats. their not sr4... the type s seats hold u in well for the shoulders compared to the ep3r recaro.. but beig leather, and no bolsters will slide u around on the track.

ep3r i didnt like one bit

beat me to it.

looking for ep3r recaro, smaller thigh bolsters, easier to enter, exit.

Are EP3R seats just a variation on the DC5 SR4? because they look rather different to me.

DC5S seats look pretty nice, not quite as high bolsters on the bottom though so I think they'd be mainly for comfort.

They have a nice curve in the top for your head.

[GU357]

good point those EP3 seats arent sr4's (some one told me the dc5r had EP3 seats) they look like sr5 or something.

also i have auto technica bucket seat in the drivers side for the mean time and i HATE IT. its too high considering the jazz has a high seating position which is why i need LOW seats like bride low max's but $1,600 per seat for originals is EXPENSIVE.

ps i LOVE CAPS

I find the sr4 too squashy compared to the sr3.For asians its ok coz youre shorter and narrow shoulders so you dont really line up with the top bolster

For us with broad shoulders around 6ft its too tight.Feels like its pushing my shoulders in too much

sr3 feels a bit more loose all round

Also both will vary depending on wear/age

[r3ckless]

Looking at the pic, the Ep3r looks like it'll hold u in more then a type s. I have driven an ep3r and owned type s seats... they hold u exactly the same, entering/exiting is the same. One thing that sucks about them both is the high seating position. The SR4 is so much better IMO - lower seating position, bolsters actually work.

[senna]

Hmmm, can't fit in anything except type s seats or big sparco seats...lol

ep3r recaro's will be for bosses car.

got recaro rails, as opposed to dc2r rails.

1 inch higher for the short people.

Stay classy San Diego..

[GU357]

not to be rude of dictator like. but can anyone tell me anything about bride replicas? the low max seems to be the lowest any one know how well it grips?
if it the mounts are same as original and that.
also if u wanna install low bolster bucket seats, AutotechnicA make some very comfy ones. i have sat in tonnes of them and despite they arent JDM they are ADR and not bad value.

[Vicks]

Don't even get replicas. I've had one in my NA6 and they the most uncomfortable seats ever. You literally get what you pay for. It was painful to sit, quality was ok. It did the job of holding me in on seat but after a few sessions you get a sore ass.

To answer your question, yes lowmaxes do sit low.

[GU357]

ok fair enough, jw because lots off ppl get these low max replicas and they have the CF shell n that, and look beautiful plus low position makes it really seem worth it but if they arent comfortable then no point.

Ep3 recaro's also come with that extra support padding at the end of the seat which is pictures in the previous page. It helps taller drivers with longer legs.

[CRXDEL501]

Can also get recaro sr3 replicas off eBay
I pm'd a guy that had bought them through eBay and he said they were good for what you pay

[r3ckless]

I sat in the replica bride low maxes... Its not really that bang for buck... I mean comparing it to sr3/4... For te real deal, its only an extra $300 odd dollars..

But te seat itself.. I like it!

Holds u in well etc. try to get nogradation so its harder to spotthe fake.

[GU357]

yeh i was gonna go red, but i hear that its poor quality and all that stuff. the parts start squeking fabric rips n fades. not worth the hassle all that. but is it true, most ppl diss them but have never had them or used them.
also the fake has a cf chell but is it strong.

[butterfingers]

LOL wtf who gives a shit about the rear passengers.

get the one that holds you tight for spirited driving and is still comfortable for daily cruising.

and must be red. Lol.
