Let's see pics of aftermarket seats in installed in FDs!
Anyone try the Bride ViosIII Ultra Low Max Seats? Looks like a seat rail specific to the FD and is centered.

Which, if any, of these seats gives you extra head clearance? For track days I'm using a factory seat with up to 2" of foam removed from the bottom so my helmet can clear the roof.
I never thought of using the racer seats...would help in an accident if you have an 8-pt roll cage. I'm thinking of getting an 8-pt and am nervous about driving on the street w/o a helmet on. Anyone else doing this?

i think the buddy club's look awesome.
but im very hesitant to replace the stock seats. weight is important but not if it will compromise comfort. ive sat in some racing seats and they are awful for long periods of time. are they worth buying for a daily driver???

SPGs + bride FG rails. too high for my liking, but i'm not that tall so it's okay. passenger side rubs so i gotta address it when i have time, or the motivation

as for comfort issues.. i drove from vancouver, bc to portland with no issues
has anyone used the sparco sliding rail? i cant seem to figure the damn thing out lol, i have a custom bracket for my seat, at least i think its custom, it came with the seat and it looks by no means professional lol, but the sliding rail's holes are lined up weird, can someone maybe shed some light on this?

How tall are you and how much do you weight? What rails are you using? Is the seating higher or lower than stock?
