I have a Bride Vios III "Low Max" seat on order and i'm not sure which rail/bracket I should go with. Has anyone had experience with Buddy Club seat rails? I heard the Nagisa rails aren't too great. And tees-usa site says Bride FG rails sits a little off centered but everyone I know that uses this rail says they really don't notice it, other than that they said they had a hard time installing it. Also I'm only 5'7 so I really don't need the seat to be on the ground.

i have the regular bride rails and the low max is practically on the floor. i cant imagine having the extra low rails. im 6feet tall and with helmet my head is nowhere near the roof.

I heard the Nagisa rails aren't too great.
Really? I used some Nagisa Auto D-Lock rails in my car for quite some time and must say that they are awesome. If you go Nagisa, go for the dual lock rails. They're the shit.

Technically for the Vios III seat, you want to use the LF type rails:
http://www.tees-usa.com/seatrail_LowMax.html
Also, if you look there, and scroll to Nissan 180sx
You'll see the difference between the different rail + seat combinations
I've never had an issue with the Bride FG rail and it being "off centered"
You notice it the first time you sit in it, but then forget about it, unless you dwell on it or something
I've never used or seen Buddy Club rails for the S chassis, so I can't comment on that
But I'd recommend to get either the Bride FG or LF rail for the seat you have
Good luck though, finding FG's in stock is pretty hard these days
So if you can find a legit shop with them really in stock, buy them immediately
As far as Nagisas go, they made two versions of the Nagisa rail, the normal version (v.1) and the D lock version (v.2)
The issue with the first version was that it was single side locking, where as the second version locked on both sides
The advantage of the first version was that it had an OEM-type adjustment rail, whereas the second version was Bride FG style

Yea...my fg rail points left...its annoying because the side bolster and thigh hit for me to hit the accelerator and I know I am turning my leg in a way I should not be...which is why I have a special way of bolting my seat down to make it work.

One more quick question, a friend had told me S13 rails won't fit on an S14 chassis, i believe it would right? right?
I found some Buddy Club rails and i figure i would be the one to test and review them , but the seller has them listed under S13 rails
