I had Vision rails a couple years ago, but they weren't double-locking. That was annoying for me when braking, but they're definitely lower than stock.

Aren't usdm itr seats the same height as any standard Integra? because the stock rails on the Recaros are lower than the stock seats..at least in my 97 LS. I love the height of the Recaros I was actually trying to figure out if I could fit any rails on my stock seats to get them lower for when ever I switch to the stockers

No, USDM ITR seats actually sit lower than your "conventional" Integra seats. Approx 1/2-1 inch lower.

I had the vision rails and single locking rail isnt fun to adjust either.... the position was great but you want to go with a double locking rail

If you can't find those rails, MemoryFab and Wedge Engineering both make a set of rails you can use that will put you on the floor.

In 10 seconds on Google I find two places selling them, neither within the US and both for an outrageous price. No, I'm not posting them because I'm tired of you getting f*cking spoon fed. I don't see why it matters that they are outside the US.

Stock OEM JDM Recaro ITR rails aren't THAT much higher than stock US ITR seats...I mean, its not like all of a sudden your knees are going to be hitting the steering column and you head bouncing off the top. Have you tried the seats with the OEM rails in your car yet?

My suggestion was valid. Have fun trying to acquire these apparently un-acquirable items while plenty of others are available that will do the job just as well, if not better.

The :facepalm: was for your spoon comment, which was either sarcastic or way off base.

have you considered just building a pair? with the costs involved with the out of country stuff you may be money ahead just building a pair and using generic sliders.

Bride MO type. Had them, loved them, no issues, not the most expensive, good quality, about 1.75" lower than stock, optimal driving position. Recommend them tenfold ... Bride seats ... not so much
