Racing Seats

I'm looking to get some racing seats for my RX3. I'm looking at different sites, but no one seems to make seats for the 3. Does anyone know of a universal type racing seat, maybe from Sparco, Bride or something like that? Thanks

Corbeau makes sliding bracket/mounts for the Rx3....I had to modify them for my Rx2, but they rock. The problem...you can only buy the mounts WITH seats I believe. I run a Forza fixed-back on the drivers side and a TRS for the passenger. Both fit without issues, the top bolsters are a "little" close on the door sides, but the 3 is larger!

I believe the brackets were $80 each. Got them from upgrademotoring.com

your not going to find a car specific racing seat, not specially for the rx3. Most after market seats are universal and require some modification to make them work for our old cars. But yeas some do make the rails just like Jaime mention, you can use the stock rails you'll just have to make brackets to make them work.

You might be able to use a lot of aftermarket seats with a corbeau bracket.

Also, look into Cobra seats/mounting brackets. They might have what you want, and they're high quality as well.
