"fabbed themselves" means you create a mounting system YOURSELF.

so find someone who welds/machines, or get some del sol seats.

had you ever been in an ep3 before buying the seats? i mean they are obviously very high sitting seats.

Can anyone confirm that these Wedge Engineering brackets will set the seat lower?

I'm pretty sure the slider & bracket on OEM seats are one piece. It sounds like that's for aftermarket seats where the slider & bracket are seperate pieces.

However having not seen EP3 seats I can't say for sure, but I just flip-flopped my Sol seats around two weeks ago (new driver seatback, yay) and I know those were 1 piece.
