ry OMP and Cobra if you are having some trouble getting the harness slots lined up. If you are legitimately performance minded and not just interested in how some fabric looks, Cobra right now is the best bang for the buck with Kevlar (like 30% lighter than other composites, strength/weight ratio is awesome) based FIA seats that are available with custom seat pads to get the perfect fit and breathable fabric and decent price points. Make the trip to check seats out. VAC Motorsports in Philly carries Cobra and Racetech (both awesome), JSC Speed carries OMP and Cobra, and Stable Energies in NJ (a haul even from Philly) has probably the most comprehensive seating showroom locally and is worth the drive for the knowledge they have alone with building race ready cars (VAC, too. ESPECIALLY if you have a bimmer). Do yourself a favor and go sit in every seat you can.
Bride is just the hot JDM thing right now, and like Davin said, most of their seats will not pass any sort of FIA testing so skipping them is not a bad idea either. The PPs are old news and, similarly to the Brides, are a hot item with Euro guys, so they become a hot item for "car guys" but the design hasn't really changed since their introduction and are really quite dated at this point. The Sparco Evo series are awesome, but some people don't find them nearly as comfortable. If you ever get into the Philly area on your search, drop me a line and you can check out both the Cobra Imola I have that is a few years old and out of FIA spec and the Suzuka Pro that I'll be ordering to replace it in the near future.
