I'm 6'3 and in need of more headroom in my CRX Si. A new, lower positioned seat is where I am looking to gain this from.

I'm thinking about picking up a Sparco Pro2000 seat, but need to select seat rails.

I've done a ton of research about what store-bought seat rails will yield the most headroom, but it always comes back the same: custom made.

Before I design anything to be made, I want to know which seat rails that currently exist will position the seat as low as possible to maximize headroom. They must work with this particular Sparco seat (or a Sparco seat similar to this one).

This seat can be side or bottom mounted, but (from what I've gathered) side mount will mount the lowest.

If you don't have any experience with this seat (or a similar Sparco product), or anything relevant or helpful to contribute, then don't post.

I already know all about Bride Low Max seats. I just don't want to spend $1800 on a seat right now. F knock-offs. Buy original.

 

i have a sparco sprint in my ef and im 6'3" sits perfect. i have just the mounting bracket and no sliding rails

 

I see. Is that a side mount, or bottom mount seat?

 

its a bottom mount

 

I got a seat kind of like yours and im looking for mounts to use as well. I came across some on weaksauce's website from bride i think it was, they're side mounts and they have multiple mounting spots for height adjustment and they arent that expensive.

 

iv got a sparco evo that i plan on tossing in my crx, but its side mount and i know pci makes a nice base setup but no sliders. idk if if they have bottom mounts though but doesnt hurt to peep them out

 

Do you also fit with a helmet on?

I've read mixed things about using the bride type-RO/RB/RK rails with these seats. Some 240sx guys said they use the Pro2000 with the type-FG rail and it sits low, but what I listed above is what is available for CRX. But I've read that people using the Evo Plus aren't able to use these because the seat is too wide (granted the seat is made for larger people). The Pro2000 should be fine, though.

According to Bride's own website, these rails can be used with the Pro2000. Anyone have experience with these?

 

I rock the Sparco Sprint

Modified my existing OEM sliders and brackets to bottom mount the seat.

I am 6,1" and have no issues what so ever with a helmet on. (Look at the openings for the harness as my shoulders are like an inch above the bottom of the opening)

Please note the rollbar padding is strictly there to protect the paint on the cage. The front hoop which is not shown in the pic I run SFI padding. I do not run the front hoop on the street and although the picture is deceiving the nub that sticks out is over 10" away from me when I am in the seat.

 

Is your car an Si hatchback? And I don't know if those have the same headroom or sunroof assembly as the CRX Si.

 

^no it's a DX. My old car was an Si so headroom wasn't so bad as with the sun shade open I had clearance with my helmet on.
