IF your seats are bottom mount and use the standard 4 bolt pattern that most Corbeau seats have, then a set of Bride MO rails will fit them and get them as low as possible.

I have a Corbeau Forza II aka Forza Wide in my S13 on Bride MO rails.

The Bride MO rails are pretty much the lowest bottom mount rails that I know of, which is why I used them. I am 6'6" 285LBS so the seat hieght and width was really important to me. My Recaro SRD seats sat just about stock height with these rails and with the corbeau forza ii (which is fixed bucket seat not a reclinable) it sat slightly lower.

Corbeau seat brackets automatically set the seat higher than stock. With sliders you're in the roof before you even look at a helmet.

Plus, Corbeau seat fabric sucks ass. It will wear in no time and pick up every piece of lint, hair, and debris in a hundred mile radius.

Buy better seats.

ok when i call them what rails do i ask for? last time i told them i have corbeau seat they said they dont sell them rails and there rails dont fit. so what should i ask for when i call them?

This is really on a different subject, but my Forza II fabric is fine. It's seen multiple track days and daily driving and isn't worn at all. I have seen several threads where people had issue's with it, but a couple of my freinds have them too and theirs are the same as mine. So maybe the fabric issue has been worked out.

As for sitting higher, any bottom mount seat will sit higher because of the way the floor pan is on an S13/14. Most would go with a side mount but thats really not an easy thing for me since my waist size is 44, this was the only seat I could find at the time that would for sure fit my size.
