Being low and having a slammed/lowered ride is amazing, you feel like you're on the road. Mine are Buckets (Cobra Monaco) on Cobra frames. Sitting low is wikid! But if you use the car for long journeys, as driving for a long time i find really uncomfy. After an hour of driving my ass went numb! :lol: I would only surgest fitting racing seats if you don't do long traveling...

When I bought Del Sols I realizd how much better lower is.

I then bought Sparco Sprints w/ wedge engineering rails and sliders. Because the bottom of the Sparcos sank when you sat in them they were really low. Lower than fiberglass or CF buckets on low position rails. They were too low for my girls car when I bought my new seats so I had to sell them instead of use them on her car. She could barely see over the dash.

I now have F1 Spec Type 2's (fiberglass) w/ F1 Spec rails and sliders. They have absolutely no give so with normal rails they are about OEM seat height even on the lowest side mount postion. I do not like that but
they do the job and I would have bought low rails had I sat in them in someone elses EG.

I suggest CF or FG buckets due to the adjustable height postions due to the use of sidemounts.

you can see the difference in height in driver vs passenger.

Stock DC recaro rails on the passenger side. Vision onetouch Low Position Rails on the drive side that lowers seating position by 50mm. When using a helmet in the car with stock DC recaro rails, My head would hit the roof of the car (i'm only 5'7) The low rails gave me 2inchs of clearance so I can freely move my head without worrying about hitting my head on the roof.


My arm rests on the doorpanel area where the window buttons are just fine.


here is a pic of me in the car with memoryfab s68 bucket seat... it was ridiculously low..

- Wed Jan 30, 2008 9:55 pm #40135 is it a side mount or a base mount (where the screws mount to)


for base mount seats like recaros SRDs or Bride Brix Ergos

I would get visions one touch sliders

www.jhpusa.com has them for 170 for a pair..



for sidemounts, I honestly LOVE the www.memoryfab.com lower seat rails..they do cost 150ish each though..If I ever decide to buy a non reclinable bucket seat, memoryfab is my choice of rails :) Plus it has a cool slider..its like a little ebrake lever! haha
