Type RZ Seat Rails

I have a couple of RZ seats but they did not come with RZ rails. I am looking to install these seats into my car but I do not know which rails fit these seats. Can anyone suggest anything that works?

(Searched but for some reason the function is not working correctly)

You are going to need to custom fab a set, finding just rz seat rails in Japan is impossible.

Yo yo wassup Bryan,

Can't you use some 3rd part rails? You lose tilt and slide functions for the seats but I thought you could always use brides or something.

Do they need to be adjustable?

If not we do a brace and mount for bucket seats....buy only if they are side mounted

Dead easy to fit too

Atomic, RZ seats are bottom mounted. I also have an RZ seat that needs to be mounted.. I do have a rail, but its slightly bent.. I guess I need to start working on that.

I couldn't care less about the tilt function. I do need the slide ability though as my batt is located behind the pass seat. I could go to Mazda and by some rails but they are stupid expensive. I have heard of people using other Recaro rails but I am not sure which ones fit.

^^I don't think they will work. those seems like they are for side mount Recaros... which most non-OEM recaros are.

I have a bent RZ rail at home. I'll take some pics for you and post. If I don't just remind me.. I'm bit forgetful these days. Also, you coming to DGRR?? Bring that Feed candy FD!

Not sure if I am coming to DGRR, finances are very tight right now and just can't afford to spend the money on a trip. However, I did just acquire an absurdly rich girlfriend, so maybe I can convince her to go and pay for everything.

What about this recaro rail?

Those are the F'ing worst seat rails ever made / known to man.
I bought an overly expensive pair of Recaro's and the bastards had the gull to send me those rails. I thought it was a joke at first but no, they actually sell those to people.


My issues with those rails were
a) never slide on comment
b) never would slide evenly
c) made from thin metal
d) "clip on" handle rocked for the first 1/2 times i used it (kept coming off / unsnapped)
e) ...the seat brackets left me in a leaning-forward position

i still hate those F'ing brackets!
