anyone know of a seat and bracket setup , that will sit lower than oem ? cuz most aftermarket seats i have found sit higher , and the brackets sit higher also .

I think it's bride that makes a super-low seat rail... that's what it's called and it should be what you're looking for. they're a bit pricey but worth it from what I hear..

DocTaDrifT · 03-07-2005, 10:43 AM

just bolt the seat to the floor you cant get any lower than that

bride rails sit lower than stock IIRC so do Wedge engineering and some sparco rails

Sparco uses wedge rails, and everyone I've ever talked to with the wedge rails says the seats sit higher.

I talked to a Cobra sales rep who says their seat rails are made specifically for the 240sx, and maintain oem seat height.. don't know if he was just blowing smoke up my ass...

the fg bracket is super low, i had to use the middle slot because i couldn't see; i'm short.

I have a zeta III L with the super low rails and they sit noticably lower than stock. They also have adjustability front and rear to tilt and raise the seat. The seat is also very nice. I am 6'0" 220 and its almost perfect.

*NemeGuero* · 03-07-2005, 05:19 PM

who makes the zeta III and the fg rail?

Flipzide · 03-07-2005, 05:24 PM

Aren't all Bride fixed-back seats side mount tho?

I think it's the bottom mount seats that are the issue.

edit: nm, guess my brain is makin stuff up, I thought the topic was reclinables.

HATchTRICK · 03-07-2005, 07:17 PM

Has anybody used corbeau brackets?
I just got done making my own slider brackets from the stock rails and they are too high. my head hits the roof.

What other brackets are there. My friend has sparco and another has wedge. Both complain about height being too high.

BTW i have recaro Sport seats.

EchoOfSilence · 03-07-2005, 10:00 PM

How about anyone that's short?!?!?! (5'4 5'5)

kingsol · 03-07-2005, 11:19 PM

^then seat position shouldn't matter... the fg's have 3 notches that you can use to adjust your seat's height, so it's good for short and tall people.

I had corabeaus in my car and my head was in the roof (6' 0" 260)

I was running forza2s with corabeau rails

switched to sparco EVO L and bride super low side mount rail

l33tmonkeyman · 03-08-2005, 08:05 AM

will the fg brackets work with the sparco corsa seats?

the head · 03-08-2005, 03:36 PM

it is a side mount seat so it should fit

revolutionz_s13 · 03-26-2005, 06:52 PM

Will the bride superlow rails fit the corbeau forza II's?

The ROMAN · 03-26-2005, 09:34 PM

Has anyone used bride rails on custom circuit seats like Ultra-shield or Kirkey? With all the adapters, I should be able to get it to work one way or the other....right?

brianglawson · 04-30-2005, 08:41 AM

i know this is an old thread but might as well use it.... anyone ever mounted a recaro speed to bride low rails?
