i had a forza and ran a corbeau rail/slider it kinda sucked since it's bottom mount so you really can't get it to sit real low. I ideally wanted to run bride mo rails but i ended up just getting a Zeta 3 and buddy club rails. If you want it low go with either custom, bride, or switch to a side mount seat. Hope this helped

Do not get Buddy Club seat rails. They suck and don't sit low at all....
I would get Nagisa rails. Those bishes go LOW!

I bought a fixed back bucket seat from a local guy here. The seat is a non name brand fixed back bucket seat imported from Japan through a local importer of JDM goodies. Pretty much a cheap bucket seat and not FIA approved. I then bought a brand new Buddy Club rail to mount the seat in my s14. IMO the aftermarket seat felt like it sat higher than my stock s14 seats. I had in there about 12 hours before I removed it and put my stock seat back in. I DD my s14 so I can't sit in a upright position for extended periods of time. I need to lean some. I also didn't feel that the seat would have held up well if I had been in a accident.
Here's a picture of the setup when I had it installed.

I know this is very old, but in the same situation.

Just wanted to clarify if you have/had the FX1 (not pro or wide) and the Nagisa auto rails side mounts fit fine?

Thanks hope to hear from you

It touches the floor because it has bottom mount mounting options as well. The 4 mounting locations on the bottom have a "raised" portion that hits the floor.

That's true, but it's still really low. I thought about cutting off those raised mounts on the bottom of the seat but I wasn't sure if it would jeopardize the strength of the seat bottom.

dude i just bought these Nagisa XNSR011LD 011LD Bucket Seat Rail (Dual Lock) Silvia S13 S14 S15 (http://www.frsport.com/Nagisa-XNSR011LD-011LD-Bucket-Seat-Rail--Dual-Lock--Silvia-S13-S14-S15_p_2205.html)

they don't fit on my FX1! what's going on?!

Also I don't understand how they're supposed to be mounted side or bottom. The mount points aren't threaded inside or out!

Idk about that rail, this is the one I have.

The one you got wouldn't be able to go as low or have as much adjustability. The seats side mounts should be threaded not the rail itself.
