I run the sparco mounts.. They do sit a bit higher, but the seating position is better to work the pedals IMO, plus I'm rather short ~5'6"..

Also the normal ones are very narrow, so the wide ver. which is only slighty wider should fit no problem.

Buddy Club supposedly makes their own mount, I'm awaiting pricing from them. When I find out Ill post it up.

I was also interested in these seats. To be honest they look like they have the same mold as the mugens... I'd love to own the mugens or brides but I also want to use my money elsewhere.

I can't find anyone selling the rails for the bc seats...

mugens have a snug fit. i am 5'8-5'9 at 135 and i am pretty snug in mugen seats. if i weighed 170..i think i would have a problem getting into mugen seats.

fat people + slim bucket seats=no no

They make a wide version too.

For anyone looking into sliders, the Bride FO and Vision super low sliders will work.

Aren't those for bottom mount seats? or do they have an option for sidemounts?

I feel like my roommate just used those with a set of recaros (bottom mount).

I know a guy that can get the Vision rails for a decent price. Anthony/itracer121 has a set coming at the end of this month.

We usually recommend Bride or Sparco rails...sometimes it does tend to ride higher than stock....

and yes we do offer 2 sizes, one for the skinny guys and ones for the big boned men like me =D

but listen to JHP, they know what they are doing, and have been one of our most reputable dealers

Oh yeah, thats right you would need them too.

Any one have this setup in thier civic ?? and how do you find the seating position? Good or Bad ? or would you have spent a tad more on mounts and get a Bride or Spoon Rail etc?

Thanks for the input guys
