Tris, jump onto nengun, they hav little explanations.

There is essentially 3 bolt patterns across the bride seat range, then there is also the height of the rail itself

The std aftermarket rails are 35mm lower than std, then the lowmax rails are about 15mm lower than that...

I have an aap seat on normal aftermarket rails in the car atm, and its loooowww.... To the point it was in Wynn's manual Leggie and was swapped with my factory reacaro as you cant operate the clutch properly.... And my missus cant see over the dash with it in either...

This looks to be exactly what i want
http://www.nengun.com/bride/rails-fo-type

however FO is not available for CT9A

Is love something with side mounts and a slider.

Im thinking i may have to get RO typ[e rails and seperate side mounts



Email streeter, show him that. He'll sort you out. ( my reply was wiped)




while were on the subject does anyone know whether genuine bride rails will fit a pair of these imitation babies

Paulie i did email jesse earlier today

his reply:
Bride make the rails to suit their seats into each car, Im sure they
have a similar rail which would do the same job (RO or something like
that)

EDIT:
HMMMMM
Checked upgarage - quite a few on there and they are priced nicely.

Lol doesn't seem to helpful haha but I'd tell Jesse to order the right ones lol. Not like an Evo isn't a popular model. Sure your bride won't work with the factory recaro rail?


Also, show jesse what seat you want and what height.

HAHA Jesse is always helpful. I didn't expect much since he is just giving out free advice :)

Tomorrow i am going to try the seat i want (Velo GPT-2) and will measure the side mounting points and compare to bride.
Other than that they should fit and at the end of the day they can be modified to fit. I am just trying to avoid also people i spoken to rkn it will work.

I dunno its just a bit cumbersome and i have never looked into rails until now :D

Thanks for all your help paulie!

haha too easy mate, if the velo is a side mount, you could get some 8mm plate folded into L shape brackets to suit the seat.

like so

Yeah the velo is side mount and they offer brackets.

I found the seat i want!

Sat in it today and OMG!

Also got some measurements, and it is a fucking shame the Bride FO rail is not available for CT9A because that would be perfect out of the box.
