Anyone have and feedback on rails for a regular Corbeau FX1? I tried a friends buddy club rails and it sits too high for a helmet, Ive hear different people say Nagisa auto rails fit... and dont fit, someone also said it still sat too high for helmets? Just looking for some info before a event this next Saturday...

when i googled and posted the wrong info, it was a thread to fx1's i saw paired up with nagisa super lows.

Honestly if the seat mounts are too high then there is nothing you can really do, especially with the exhaust hump preventing low low rails. Nagisa/Bride FGs are the lowest they have for our cars aside from custom/cutting out the exhaust hump.

Nagisa rails fit seats up to 400mm, anything wider and they wont fit.

Buddy Club rails are by far the highest rails i've ever sat in, they leave a good 2 inches of room for drop, if your helmet will clear that 2 inch gap then you're good. If not then there isn't really much you can do.

My bride rails will be here tuesday, i currently have buddy clubs in my car so i can give you a comparison on tuesday when i install. It might not be enough time to order something unless you do express shipping... i'll drop a post here with measurements, albeit with a Zeta II, you can probably figure it out if the seat will mount good with these rails.

^What he said. It will not fit between the Nagisa rails. I Ordered a Fx-1, and actually got a fx-1 pro instead. I'm kinda glad I did, I fit just fine with a 36" hips(I don't care about waist size(who the hell were pants at their waist these days...))

The rails will fit to aprox 16" wide seat, the fx-1 is 17 1/8"-3/8". You could slot the rails, or if you can fab, you can make it fit.

Thanks guys,

What are the dimensions on a Zeta II? couldn't find any , i know the fx1 is a little bigger then the Zeta III..

yeah I could prolly sit in a fx1 pro but i already scratched the hell out of this seat messing with it so its too late for that hah,

But i talked to a guy that can make me some custom ones tomorrow, so think im going to just get him to fab up some fixed rails so i can get it superr low. ill report back how that goes haha

I ad an FX1 Pro with a Nagisa super low rail and fit with a helmet- I am about six ft. tall. I also had a buddy club rail for it that sat a pretty good amount higher, and did not allow me to fit without a helmet.
