Default Seat Rails for Sparco Evo

Hey. Recently acquired a Sparco Evo fixed back seat and did some reading around the forum. Consensus seems to be if I want the seat to sit at OEM level or lower not to go with the Sparco Sidemounts/sliders setup. Some recommended to go with Bride FO Type rails for OEM or lower seating. Question is if that is what is recommended for what I am looking for? Will the Bride FO rails be compatible as well as whose selling the FO type rail? Thanks.

You need to look up the spacing for the mounting holes. Then you can tell what style rails will fit. Bride lists all the dimensions for their bases on their site.

All of that said, you can talk to the guys at Corner3 Motorsports. They sell the bride rails and can advise you based on the seat level you are looking for.

I have a Sparco Evo II US because my butt is big lol. Bride will not work with that seat. Buddy Club will go low, but doesn't fit perfectly without some modification. Outside of of Buddy Club and Bride, I don't know if any of the other setups will sit you oem hieght of lower with a slider. I ended up removing the sliders from my Wedge Engineering bracket and mounted the seat and side mounts directly the bracket. It's stationery but it's low enough for me and I'm 6'1".

I have heard that the bracket does not set perfectly so the seat may impact the door. It's just what I read.
