^ Sick!

What rails do you have? I like how they are height adjustable.

I need some rails that sit as low as del Sol seats.

I have a wide version, I'm a skinny dude though.
Size 30 waist. I just like it because it's more comfortable for daily driving, lets me shimmy around. I couldn't really tell you how they would fit for someone bigger though.
I'll try to get some pics up later.

Here is a bad picture of my Buddy Club Wide with a custom fabricated seat bracket and MemoryFab L shaped brackets to mount the seat to the rail.

I had a local shop, Competition Fabrication fab up a bracket without sliders so that I could mount the BC to the floor. Being 6'5" there wasn't a single aftermarket seat bracket/set that allowed me to mount the seat as low as possible. I tried the MemoryFab's, Bride FO and Buddy Club seat rails.

The last picture is how low I sit...it's a little hard to see with my black hooded sweatshirt but my line of sight is about an inch or so above the dashboard.

Nice seats guys and Chester what kind of fabrication did they do ? my guess is you made some steel plates that sit just above the interior floor then mounted the seat bracket on the steel plates am i right ?

Dave at CompFab pretty much just took the dimensions of my Bride FO rails and like you said made two steel plates basically and then customized it for me. We added an extension to the plates to move the mounting points back farther for my long legs and combined with the MemoryFab L shaped brackets I have about 1.5" adjustment front to back and then about another 1-1.5" side to side. Also the gussets where the bracket mounts to the chassis is slotted side to side for even more adjustment; similar to the Nagisa Auto Rails.

I can take some pictures if you guys want in a day or so, tomorrow is a busy day for me though. The work wasn't cheap though, but if I had to have another set fabricated they would probably be cheaper. I didn't pay anything for materials because there isn't much. What I paid for was the labor.

If anyone is interested in a custom setup let me know. I have spare aftermarket seat rails/brackets for and EG/DC and EK to use as templates for dimensions and whatnot.

O cool bro yea man i would love to see the work they did, the ride height looks really comfortable for tall people like myself I'm 6'0 but regular after market seat rails fit me just right, wouldn't mind getting some knowledge about your set up and trying it out for myself .

Thanks .
