They touch and indent about a quarter of an inch Phil, no big deal..Only thing when used with Recaro rails, the seats sit higher

Yes, higher than bride brackets, that is the reason why it clears the panels...I believe about an inch higher

Personally If I were doing seats again I would pick the Cobra Racer Pro. They are FIA certified and a special narrow fit. Only 20.25" at the shoulder and 17.75" at the base. They are very similar in looks and shape to the OEM RZ/Spirit R Recaros but you can use a 5/6 point harness. http://www.cobraseats.com/Racer-pro


I love my OMP WRC seats, but they do cause a 1/4" indentation in the door panel.

I have a Recaro SPA on Bride FG rails. Rubs slightly at the top. I just to to modify the bracket to be able to lower it a little. I might go with the Nagisa Super Low seat rail though. http://www.more-japan.com/nagisa-aut...-rail-slr.html

Rspecfd has Recaro Pole positions in his car on Bride FO rails. The seats rub on the doors a bit.

The Cobras run about $700 a piece, which is pretty normal for an FIA approved seat. My OMP's were $750 a pop and I think most Recaro seats are in the $700-800 range.

I couldn't wait 4 months for another blue seat, so I bought a black. Colors of my seats don't match, but I swapped the pads so they each have some black and some blue, lol.

Haven't really seen much of the nagisa seat rails mentioned. A lot of 240 guys run this brand and their rails do sit pretty low from what I hear

I bought some recently to try with my Recaro SPG seats. I was disappointed with them for four reasons and have since returned them.

1. The side mounts are welded to the rails so that they do not accommodate multiple width seats. The holes where the rails mount to the floor pan are elongated slightly from side to side to remedy this design flaw.

2. The sliders do not slide back nearly as far as stock. The front of my buckets were about even with the front rail to floor pan bolts. This means there was a good 4-6" of additional space before the bucket would hit the bins. ( I am 6'3")

3. The locking mechanism is only on one side of the rails unlike the stock rails. Meaning one side locks and the other is free to slide back and forth. I am not sure if this would be a problem but it seemed like an inferior design to me.

4. They claim to fit Recaro SPG, but the seat still hits the door enough where I wouldn't use them even if I wasn't too tall for them.
