Lowest Seat Rails Available...(Bride)

I have a brand new Bride Zeta III on my way over from the motherland for me, and i need the lowest seat rails i can possibly get for it.

What are the lowest rails available that will fit my seat and car (s14)?

And what online retailer has the best price on them?

Thanks in advance.

brides rails sit pretty low. not sure if they're the lowest ones you can get. should be around 180-190 depending on where you go.

Yea, i guess i was more wondering what specific rail? Like the FG? Or something else lower?

And im hoping that one of the sponsor's has a hot deal going on for brackets right now...

One thing i think would be nice is whats the lowest seat rail available, and how much lower does the seat sit than the OEM seats?

does your seat have to slide? if not i have some blueprints you might want.

also, do you need side mount or bottom mount? i dont know enough about bride seats to know right off the bat which seat takes which rails

the blueprints are for side mounts, but bottom mounts would be too easy. (2 stips of stainless bent to fit, and bolted in.)

and i should mention the blueprints i have are made to allow you to adjust the incline of the seat (effectively reclining it)

Yes, the Zeta III is a side mount seat. Hoping for pics, personal experience, etc...

I need it to be able to fit someone 6'2" with a helmet.

Bride FG sidemount is the lowest possible. I can mount my Kirkey to the point where it rubs the floor bar.

THe only other option is to cut out the floorboard and mount the seat flat.

Hate to revive an old thread, but equally don't want to start another so here it goes.

I want to purchase a set of reclinable racing seats. Most likely bride low max. Is the general consensus bride rails are the lowest? If so, what model bride do I purchase. Thanks!

I have a brix in my car and use the the MO rail. I got it from frsport. It sits low, I’m 6’0 and still have a lot of head room. I know the mo works with some other seat brands too, but double check. Hope this helps.

Actually, general consensus is that the Nagisa/NAMS single lock side mount rails are the lowest you can get. However finding them will probably be difficult. I can touch the bottom of my seat to the floor pan, and that's with seat sliders.

Got it. Did some more thinking. I want to do a reclinable seat next. This bucket kills me on a street car. My thoughts are go with mo rails and get a Bride recline. Lowest bride reclinable would be Brix I assume?

street faction rails sit lower than brides from what I've heard.. I had to hammer my floor down for the bucket seat to fit at the lowest setting. Also changes depending on where you seat mount holes are on the seat itself

I would check out the euro 2 ergo 2 and digo I don’t have any experience wth them but they have less bolsters and look like they sit a little bit lower than a brix IMO.
