Default NRG seats, sliders or no sliders, which bracket fits best

I have been searching for an hour or two now. I have come up with what seems to be to answers to my problem, however both leave me with questions.

My car is an 89 crx. Stock seats are destroyed so I picked up a set of these for a great price...

http://getnrg.com/products/seats/typ...yle-seats/feed

I didnt get brackets or sliders with them though. So, get to looking to figure out how to stick these in the car. It seems as if Wedge Engineering makes a set of brackets, but then if I wanna slide I have to add (sparco was it) sliders that they carry for an additional fee. However, I have read some not so great reviews on Wedge as of lately, and have also heard that when you add the sliders you end up with your head through the roof, which would not be good for me at 6' 2".

Question 1) Is it this way whenever you add the sliders? Will they always be taller than stock? Is there a setup with bracket and slider that sits stock height for my car or maybe even a little lower?

I also found these Weapon R brackets...

http://www.weaponspeed.com/Honda-90-...r-p-18614.html

They arent listed as 89-91, however I believe they are the same based on the Wedge catalog having the same part numbers from 89 through 91. Will these work? And if so, where will I be sitting? Lower I would imagine. Can I add a slider without going any taller than stock?

I hope this novel I have written allows for any questions that may arise for you all to be answered. Thanks for any and all help, and my apologies if after searching I missed an obvious thread.

I already have the seats.... if your gonna make a statement like that can you atleast say why? My stock seats look like someone gave them to a lion. Are they unsafe? Will the jeopardize my life? I honestly dont care otherwise because they look better, are brand new, and are more comfy than whats there now. If they start to fall apart after a while ill replace them. In the meantime, that still doesnt solve my seat mounting question... can we get back to that?

I would advise mounting the seats directly to the floor, or your head will hit the roof. Put brackets underneath the floor for reinforcement, the seats are strong as is.

Read reviews on the seats and that answered my question. People said they are flimsy and they are poor quality. Mine seem pretty sturdy but like i said if they break ill replace them.

Now back to the main question...are those brackets i posted good quality and will they work or is there something bettr?

I did a bunch of searching before, this site appears to have the best brackets:
https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/gr...upID=SEATMOUNT

It will be hard to find aftermarket brackets that bolt right up to the car. You will probably have to make something universal work. You're an inch taller than me, most brackets will put you into the roof. I autox, and there's no room for a helmet with stock sliders or otherwise.

Those, like I posted above, look like they will bolt right to the bottom of my seat, and then right to my car floor. If thats the case then it wouldnt require any custom fabbing at all, just a bolt on affair, and it seems there is quite a few companies who make something exactly like that. Basically just trying to figure out which of those brands has the best fitment and quality. I dont HAVE to have sliders, so thats no biggy. Those OMP things in your link look a bit rickets though, atleast the one for the bottom mount seat does. Mine are bottom mount, I posted a link for them above so all those OMP side mount brackets wont work for me, unless I am misunderstanding something.

Can anyone vouch or verify a bracket?
