I have some Sparco Corsa's and I bought a Buddy Club "Super Low Down" seat rail and on the lowest possible setting my legs are hitting the steering wheel and my head is hitting the roof. It is undriveable. My question is will a Bride Type LF seat rail work with my Sparco's? Or, what is the lowest side mount rail that will work with my seats?
And, btw, I have a brand new Buddy Club rail for sale...

From searching around it looks like the Bride FG rail is the way to go?

I've been looking around and I even called FR Sport and everyone says that the Bride FG's are the lowest rails you can get. But, how do the FG's sit even remotely lower than the LF's? On the LF's the rear mount on the transmission tunnel sits over the rail, on the FG's it's about 1-1 1/2 under the rail.

The LF’s look to be more bottom mount friendly. If you look at the offset from the mounting point to the tunnel to the rail itself, the LF has a much larger gap (both rails sit closer together). On the FG they sit further apart.
LF- seat sits on top of the rails
FG- seat sits inside the rails (gives you the ability to put the bottom of the seat on the floor if desired and if you’re seats not too wide)

Same turbo now same seats; lol... I mounted my Corsa on a NAMS slider rail using the highest position on the front "L" bracket and flipping the rear "L" bracket and using the now lowest position it has. I have trouble seeing over my dash and I'm 6'1"
For my passenger seat, I'm using a Wedge Engineering rail since the Toreno is a bottom mount seat. There isn't a slider under it but it's got to be the lowest one on the market; it sits against the hump in the floor.

You can kinda see what I'm talking about in this picture; too bad the seat belt is right in the way.

So with that rail does the seat actually fit between the rails? I with my BC rail the seat is barely too wide to go as low as the rail will allow.

yup. The seat just barely fits between the rails, and I think it's only allowable due to the fact the mounting holes on the rails are slots. I live it though. Not only am I really low down in the car, the seat is SOLID. They extra effort will really pay off once I get my cage underway. A buddy of mine has his sitting up so high that his head is right next to his Autopower cage. Just feels awkward to sit up that high.
