don’t buy anything until you know the mounting width of the seat is narrow enough for the rails. Typically it has to be under 400 mm.

FWIW, Bridge and Kawai rails want the seat to be 395 mm, but it might still fit...

So I know the Sparco Evo QRT fits in the car but does anyone have any suggestions for what rails to get? I'm 6'1 with longer legs. I do plan on bringing the steering wheel closer to me, but looking to see what you guys suggest on getting for rails.

Just an FYI for anyone wondering, I just tried R100s using Sparco mounts and sliders and they are NOWHERE NEAR close to fitting. Like you are not even in the same universe. Way higher seating position, top of the seat hits the roof if you try and fold them forward, plastics for the fold downs hit the interior quarter plastics, they touch the door panels, etc. Regardless of whatever mount you use, these definitely do not fit!

PSA: don’t buy the Kawai Works super low seat rails if you are taller than about 5’9” or 5’10”, it’s designed for short bastards and doesn’t go far back enough.

I’m looking at this seat from bridgemoto, I attached a picture of the specs. Seem to be pretty close to brides Edirb but I’m having trouble finding rails that will fit and make sure I can use my factory door panels without modifying the seat, and will drop the seat an inch or two

Bridgemoto XL bucket seat with Ronin rails fits perfect. I’m 6ft 230lbs modified the rails so seat sits as far back as possible. Can get in and out of the car easily even without removing my steering wheel. Just ever so slightly touches the door panel but that may be me needing to readjust the rails. I feel like I’m sitting a little crooked.

How does head clearance feel vs stock?

Since GarageStar died, does everyone agree that Ronin Speedworks brackets are the lowest?

I'm considering trying to mount the Corbeau FX1 like a few people did back in the day.

Thanks for the response. Judging by your previous post I thought that might be the case.

Im also 6’ and 230. That Bridgemoto Tsukuba feels pretty good? Do you feel like you have the seat position you desire? Or do you feel like you want to be even further back than the door panel allows?

I know this has been asked to death but I cannot find a write up on Recaro Sportster CS seats. I know they can be "installed with the OE rail but its a tight fit" but the old writes up have either been archived or have been deleted due to age.

Really curious if anyone else has done this more recently and can provide insight.
