Im wanting to get a set of Bride Vios III sport seats... being 6'2 and having a sunroofed s13 coupe fitting a helmet on my peanut aint cutting it.
Im wondering which rail would sit me lower:

1) Bride FG rail [not a low max rail]
2) Bride LF rail [low max rail]
3) Nagisa XNSR011L

Bride says to use the LF rail, but it looks like I can get lower out of an FG rail, if anyoen could chime in that would be great.

Compliments of driftwolrd.com. Currently right now I am using Bride Vios III with a buddy club rail, however I used the brackets from a Nagisa rail. Headroom is nearly identical to stock. (can go one notch lower on rear bracket. Going to check room with this setup compared to Nagisa rails in the next couple of days.

1. S13 w/Sunroof

4. Bucket
5. Buddy Club Super Low Down rails
6. No bracket mods requirted
7. 5'9" ~ 120lbs
8. depending on setting plenty of headroom. I got atleast 4-5inches
9. I think the seat fits me perfect

I am pretty sure these rails were meant for Buddy Club seats. The front will only go as low as the middle setting. Also the bar used to adjust the rail will not fit. Its a pain in the ass trying to adjust once installed. The rear of the seat does go to the lowest setting and sits pretty low... too low for my taste when I tried it. I have both in the middle settings and I still have plenty of headroom with my helmet.

I love the seat<333333

You can see how much headroom i have in this pic.

You just pretty much cleared up exactly what I was trying to find out. I just bought a Bride Low Max Gias seat and was deciding between 3 different types of rails:

1.Bride Super Low Seat Rail
2.Buddy Club Super Low Down Rails as shown in the pics
3.Nagisa Auto Rails.

Please comment on which rails you would suggest. Help would be much appreciated. I'm about the same height as you. Need to know ASAP as I will be ordering rails very soon. Any extra info would be helpful.

Reviving thread,
Wondering anyone have any experience with Stradia II or Gias II
that is 5'8-5'10, 160-180 lbs, 34" waist? how does it feel sitting in both seats?

want to know experience from those who sat in both Gias and Stradia and the holding of each one? and comfort? don't care for how difficult it is for getting in and out. just seat experience, does the stradia hold enough or is it better to have the gias for the extra hold? mainly used for weekend track use mostly street use.

I have to go off internet reviews, being there isn't a shop here that has them in stock.

IF i were to go bucket then I'm looking to go with Zeta III then what size would I need? the L?

epik1 · 09-19-2016, 08:47 AM

S13 Coupe w/sunroof

My size:
Height:~5'11"
Weight:~200lbs
Waist:36" pants size. (a tad tighter is ok considering it's a bucket seat)
Shirt size (for shoulders): L-XL (only cause of my belly)

But I do like a tight supportive fit for seats.

Currently running a Sparco Evo 2 and I don't like it, sits way too high even after I put it on fixed bracket, no sliders.

Looking to get Bride Zieg 3 + Bride FG rails.

Anyone have similar or same setup ? Trying to figure out sizing before I pull the trigger on ordering

RB25GUY · 09-19-2016, 11:35 AM

if you want low rails nagisa auto super low rails are the way to go!!!

SupaDoopa · 09-19-2016, 12:11 PM

BRIDE also makes a version that's side mount that has the bucket sit in center opening. It actually works very well. The locking mechanism for it is pretty small too if you wanted to retain sliding.

These are the FG model epik is referring to.

I wonder if either the Bride or Nagisa rails sits lower than the other. Both are considered to be the lowest sliding mounts available for these cars. If there's any difference, it's only going to be a few mm. Both of these rails essentially sit on the floor of the car. The difference would be in the material thickness and the design of the sliders.

SupaDoopa · 09-19-2016, 03:37 PM

I actually had a few of each and I'd personally say that the Nagisa was lower but nearly negligible. For those that need a few millimeters that separate you from comfortable to not, I'd go Nagisa.

KAT-PWR · 09-19-2016, 04:08 PM

My bride MO with Milano 2 isn't low but it's manageable. I'm 5' 11 and fit with helmet on

ZAC_JOHN_92 · 04-12-2017, 04:40 PM

Buy a XL.

I'm 6'4 and 32-33 waist and its tight.

XL fits good.

di-devol · 04-12-2017, 05:39 PM

Since this was revived, I'll add some more:

Corbeau FX-1 Pro
I'm 5'10"
34-35* waist
180 lbs

Panted fixed bracket (425Motorsports):

Planted sat lower than Nagisa Sliders, I liked it, was the lowest I've had. Fitment was perfect, just had to drill spots for either the front or rear side bracket mounts. Only issue was there is no bracket for the buckle.

Same seat with Street Faction fixed bracket:

I just switched to the SF brackets because I wanted the buckle bracket. SF brackets are fucking nice as fuck, super pretty. Fitment was on point, no drilling required, much more adjustment than the Planted bracket. It is about 3/4" HIGHER than the planted, about the same as Nagisa sliders.

There is plenty of room to make the seat lower if the bracket had more slots on it. I might actually just drill some holes in the rear and drop it some more.

ZAC_JOHN_92 · 04-12-2017, 05:48 PM

SR20DETsilvia thanks for the response but my problem is is the distance between the lower harness holes needs to be at least 17.5 inches that the info I'm looking for because hip joint to hip joint is 17.5 inches for me like I said big boned sorry should have said that earlier
