Seat rails that will seat around stock height or slightly lower?
 
It seems most of the side mount rails they made for the 350z they don't make for the 370z (buddy club, nagisa etc)

I'm looking at a Sparco EVO seat and I am worried the wedge bracket being undermounted will make the seat really high.

I had a bad experience with the wedge brackets with a set of corbeau seats and switched to the buddy club side mounts and loved them...

Any thoughts are appreciated.

I don't know of anyone having it that low with sliders which is my recaro pole position won't have the slider but fixed, unless I can also find some super low slider/mount

I got word that the planted bases are the lowest bases for the 370Z... So this may be the option coupled with Sparco side mount brackets.

Actually that is a good idea, I will take a look this weekend as I have an extra pair of stock seats

I just took the seat apart, there is no way to use the stock sliders unless you grind off several areas take a look at the pics

Oh I didn't mean stock bases... I mean "Planted" the brand bases... Status racing seats used them :)
Decided on Status Ring in Red with planted bases and status side mounts :)

Thanks for responding though

Hey i heard the planted bases are not the best some have been unlevel and raise the height of the seat...
Call up Buddy Club 909-923-9188 and tell them you want their sliders for the 370z!
THey told me that they may be in the works but if we can get people on board they will get them going for sure!

High high quality product that fit BEAUTIFULLY and sit about an inch or so lower then stock WITH an aftermarket seat!

I have an update...

I received the Bride FO rail and a Planted base with OMP sliders.

The Bride rail measures out .5-1.5 inches lower depending on the corner, this being said it appears the planted bracket would not sit level... I trust Bride over Planted anyday!
This is measuring a drivers base vs. A driivers side base so apples to apples.

It would appear so far bedore install that the bride FO rail is the lowest rails/base out there for the 370z.

My Status seats should be here next week so I will let you know once they are installed for height compared to stock.

buddy club is supposedly 4 weeks out from getting the rails for a 370z. i couldnt wait any longer and got fo rails.

Volk Z 04-29-2013 08:17 PM

Buddy Club brackets are now out FYI- they will be lower and will work with all side mount seats :)
This is the solution for all to have the ability to go lower then stock and fit any width seat. The only concern would be the shoulder bolsters not rubbing the door panel if you went with too wide of a seat

No pics,

I had these in my 350z and loved them. Unfortunately the status ring seats I had were a little slimmer then I would like for daily driving which is amazing since I'm only 150 pounds/5'8... They were much slimmer then my Corbeau FX1 pro which was perfect for me and meant for a 32 inch waist like the Status claim to be...

I assume the rail works well, but I am curious on the side bracket, look pretty thin to me. I dont believe these would be FIA approved right? That's the reason why I'm using the recaro side mounts (tracking)

Volk Z 05-02-2013 04:23 PM

They are very sturdy but I am not sure if they are FIA approved.. My assumption is no.
