Don't use Aluminum, and really shop around for FIA approved seats. This is your ass we're talking about here, don't cheap out. I'm 6' even 185 lbs and these momod are a tad small, but fot an FIA seat you can't beat the price.

Im 6,1 and i have a momo start also! i love it!

Bleh semi worked... I pull it out took out the slider, drilled out new mounting points and even add spacers to tilt it back.
With all pads works fine without hemlet. With helmet same as stock... I guess I need to get more of a butt and take out all of the pads...

Is the Bride MO rail lower then the Wedge rail??

I wanted to post in here with some input as I go through my search for the right seat and rail. I have a corbeau fx1 pro fixed back seat that i had with corbeau bottom mount brackets. I sold those and picked up buddy club side mount rails. but I am still sitting too high for my liking.

I am 6'0" 145 lbs, so I really want to find something that will sit lower. I dont think my helmet would clear if I had it on in the car like it is now. I have seen that the bride side mount brackets are really low, but the design looks exactly the same as the buddy clubs, so Im not sure about that. I might give the wedge bracket with no sliders a try that was mentioned earlier in this thread.

I'm 6' 2"... Today I hopped into my buddies car. He has an s13 coupe, no sunroof. The seat is some sort of bottom-mount non-reclinable Sparco with a slider and a Wedge rail. To my surprise, I had about 2 inches of headroom.

I guess not having the sunroof there makes a big difference. lol

Yeah, the sunroof trim is where I keep hitting my head. I realized I didnt have the rail as low as possible, so I am going to swap the rear brackets out tonight to see if it gives me a bit more room.
