high seating position

I just got a Bride Zeta 3, and the LH rails. The fitment is awful. Imagine the stock seat, with 5 huge textbooks stacked on top. I dont know what to do.. look for a different rail setup or what? Do Sparco Universal sidemounts work on the stock sliders, i have set of those im trying to sell, but if they work Ill just keep them.
anyone with bride seats chime in?

most aftermarket seat kits fit like that. Its because they try and match up to the passengers seat- which aftermarket slides don't fit well

when I got my seats (Yonako not bride) I felt a difference in the height, probably about half an inch to an inch, but not that much. The brackets that came with the seat weren't very good, but luckly it lined up perfectly with my stock ones so I used those, which made a difference

I love my stock s5 turbo II seats, and all my friends and everyone who sits in them all say the same thing.

I too have my SPW seat sit about an inch too high.. my seat is bolted to the stock seat rail, with a 1/16th inch aluminum plate to make the bolts allign up...

I was looking into thin slider rails (say from an industrial tool chest) and installing a linear actuator to move the seat back automatically when the car is off (or possibly when the door is open) to help make the bucket seat easier to get into on those rainy days...
