BRIDE STRADIA III EVO-S Reclining Bucket Seat in Black & Red
BRIDE’s sporty semi-bucket reclining seat combines remarkable rigidity and support, approaching the feel of a full bucket seat while ensuring easy entry and exit. The STRADIA series, newly redesigned for the first time in nearly 15 years, ushers in a new era of reclining seats. Created with BRIDE’s vision to merge the holding performance essential for track driving with the comfort and convenience needed for everyday use, the STRADIA seats feature advancements in design, body shell, frame, cushion, and reclining mechanism: a flagship model born from BRIDE’s four decades of motorsports expertise.
The STRADIA Series
A New Frame & Shell Designed Using 3D-CAD: The newly engineered bone frame and monocoque body shell, inspired by the ZETA IV, are specifically shaped to improve shoulder support and hold performance. This update brings a 200% increase in frame load capacity, a 40% improvement in torsional strength, and a 15% enhancement in frontal collision strength of the backrest compared to the STRADIA II.
A Newly Developed Stepped Reclining Mechanism: The reclining mechanism has been compactly reengineered, offering improved precision and strength. Common issues like backlash and looseness found in standard stepped mechanisms are minimized, delivering reliable support and enhanced comfort.
A One-Touch Reclining Lever with Enhanced Functionality: In the STRADIA III, the traditional backrest angle adjustment dial is replaced with a one-touch reclining lever, boosting convenience, durability, and space efficiency within the vehicle.
Utilizing the LOWMAX System for an Optimal Low Driving Position: The STRADIA series features BRIDE’s patented LOWMAX System, enabling an ultra-low seating position even in compact spaces. This system ensures precise alignment between the seat and steering wheel centers, eliminating offset for maximum comfort and control.
The STRADIA III EVO-S
The STRADIA III EVO-S is a limited-edition, made-to-order model tailored specifically for slender and smaller drivers.

This model features a silver FRP shell with a black fabric base and a sporty design, accented with red lines around the seat’s perimeter and backrest. It also includes a low-profile thigh cushion.
Half-Cover Model Where the Back of the Seat is Covered with Fabric: This half-cover model extends the fabric to the back of the shell, while the advanced reclining mechanism reduces play and backlash, complemented by a one-touch reclining lever for easy operation. Designed for versatility, the STRADIA III EVO-S is well-suited for both city and performance driving.
Tuning for Slender & Small Drivers: Compared to the standard STRADIA III model, the STRADIA III EVO-S offers an additional 15mm of side support and extra urethane cushioning in the seat base, enhancing fit and comfort for slender and smaller drivers.

What are the structural improvements of the STRADIA III over the STRADIA II? The STRADIA III’s 3D-CAD designed bone frame and monocoque shell deliver a 200% increase in frame load capacity, a 40% improvement in torsional strength, and a 15% increase in backrest frontal collision strength compared to the STRADIA II. The shell design draws from the ZETA IV and is specifically shaped to provide greater shoulder support and hold performance.
Does the STRADIA III EVO-S require a seatback protector? No. The EVO-S uses a half-cover seatback construction where the fabric extends to cover the rear of the shell. A separate seatback protector is not required when using this product.
What seat rails are compatible with the STRADIA III EVO-S? The STRADIA III EVO-S is compatible with the LR, RB, RK, and RO type seat rails. All compatible rails are sold separately.

The semi-bucket construction, LOWMAX System, one-touch reclining lever, and flame-retardant fabric make it a practical daily seat, while the STRADIA III’s structural improvements, side support tuning, and harness-compatible belt holes support drivers who also use the car in performance or circuit environments.
What is the LOWMAX System and how does it work in the EVO-S? The LOWMAX System is a BRIDE-patented technology that achieves a low seating position even in compact interior spaces and ensures precise alignment between the seat and steering wheel centers to eliminate positional offsets. In the EVO-S, as with all STRADIA III variants, this allows drivers to achieve the correct driving posture and maximum vehicle control regardless of the vehicle’s interior dimensions.
About BRIDE

Made using only Made in Japan.” BRIDE produces all its seats and seat rail products, which are closest to the driver and also protect the driver’s body in the case of an accident, domestically in Japan. BRIDE’s seats are ASEA-approved products which have cleared the standards of ASEA, the industry organization whose members comprise motorsports companies and related tuning parts manufacture and sales companies which represent Japan, and are models which conform to vehicle inspections and have cleared rigorous safety benchmarks. The safety benchmark comprises 6 items–“seat back rear surface crash test”, “head restraint forward crash test”, “head restraint static test”, “seat and seat mounting test”, “seat belt mounting test”, and “flame resistance test”–in which a great amount of force is applied to the seats assuming an accident to check whether the seats are damaged and whether they can be maintained for the regulated time, and to confirm the safety of the seats.
Also, BRIDE’s seats are the first seats produced in Japan to be licensed by FIA, and they provide 9 models which can be used in international races. In order to maintain and improve product quality to pass safety benchmarks and strict FIA strength tests, BRIDE conducts thorough management of its manufacturing process. In order to provide high quality seats, craftsmen with the highly refined skills to manufacture by hand, materials developed with advanced technology such as shells and cloth, and the logistics to manufacture and ship to the market with stability are all essential. In order to strictly control and maintain seat quality, they only use Made in Japan. And at BRIDE, they also feel that the words “Made in Japan” indicate a trust developed by Japan over many years and a quality recognized around the world. These words show the face of a manufacturer, and imply Japan’s unique fine skills, abundant creative power, and commitment to refined hand-made technology and sensitivity.

Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate.

Shipping Policy
-+
Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.
BP Pricing Difference
-+
We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well.
For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
