buddyclub seats too high in my hachi
- Thread starter buddy
- Start date
you mounted it with their rails? is there a spot lower down you can mount it? if not is there enough metal to put more mounting points in?
failing all of that, get bride FG rails, not sure if they fit buddy club but they are low :lol:

what was the answer you got on dc ? since you asked the question there first

Don't go wasting people's time answering your questions here if you don't trust you will get the right answer from them , if you take a bunch of tools from dc's knowledge over the members here on HR you really haven't looked at some of the cars in the members section .
And why is it too high ? you haven't even tryed to fit in the car with a helmet yet have you .

we still cannot see a picture or measurement of the seat ?
most people get the seat manufactures measurement and work out if its is very different from the stock seat before trying to fit it . I have a saas seat and i downloaded the measurements before i handed cash over for it . Does the bride company have such a thing ? as seat specs . Since there is so many about they must have something as i fit it hard to believe that all there seats fit into all cars .

Yeah Bride do have their specs on their website:

I've found out these have the same bolt spacing as sparco seats but are too narrow in the base to be used without mods.

do the bride fg rails have a slide action?
i looks as is if they do, but then again it doesnt look like...
buddy i had a bit of a problem when i installed my obx reclinables installed...
i measured everything, and then when i got my car back from the shop i found i that i couldnt fit in anymore coz my head was at such a painful angle...
i found out that the stock seats when i was sitting in it, that it sunk about 2in down... so i had to have the foam cut out and new base net put in so i got the same "sink" when i sat in it...
on the plus side i didnt think i was possible to make the seat more comfotable!

FG's have about 10 inches of slide travel from centre
they fit most things, except those wide ass sparco seats with the MASSIVE seat base

I've got a similar problem with a Bride fixed back I just installed in my car.
Mine sits on custom-made mounts which are standard ae86 rails with sidemounts welded on top. They look to have about the same dimensions as the FG rails height-wise. I don't know what most people consider too high or too low, but I find this rail about 2-3 inches too high. There is very little clearance between the bottom of the seat and the sliders (only about 10-15mm).
I think my only option to get it any lower would be making up a custom mount with no slidability, maybe with 4 seperate pieces (one each corner) or a rail at the front and back?
I'd be interested to see what others have done to overcome the height problem that many people seem to run into with fixed back seats. Post up some pics of your set-up if you can, I'd like to see what some people call low, just to get an idea.
In the next few weeks I'll be having a go at making a REAL super-low mount, so any input will be appreciated!

Fuck that bolt the cunt to the ground and roll like a nigger and grind it like you grind beyounce!
Seems like you fixed it easy.
Sometimes a little bit of lateral thinking :? before you post. As you found out, some folk round these parts dont like ae86dc..
Most of the time i try a little lateral thinking before i post. And then only if i have absolutely no fukin idea (which is most of the time) i might try a google search or post up here.
I rarely go to ae86dc unless i really need to for some stupid fun.
Thats enough about me, i will shut up now, you fixed it, good work.
