Default Wedge Engineering?

Do they exist?

I'm trying to find a way to mount my Sparco Evo, and I really wanna get in touch with Wegde because I hear that they make something to mount these stupid side mounts from Sparco to, as the floor in the Integra is not at all flat!!!!

Does anyone have a website or phone number that I could contact them at? I've searched the net through yahoo, and haven't really found a place to buy them.

Thanks in Advance,
JP

I would like to point out that they make a horrible adjustable seat bracket for the 2000 integra. Don't buy this! It raised my Cobra Suzuka seat about 1 inch over stock in the lowest position. I paid something over $100, and couldn't sit in my car with my helmet on (no AutoX ). It took 7 hours of cutting and drilling to modify that thing to give my seat a position slighter lower than stock, and as I have it now, I don't know how safe it is. I even talked to another person with the same bracket and he had the same problems.

In an article in European Car the project M3 car had a custom bracket done by Wedge, which the author thought, turned out very well. The company isn’t all bad I think, but I would never buy or recommend their adjustable seat bracket to anyone. Get custom or non adjustable and make sure that the bracket mounts perfectly flush with the floor carpet with no stupid gaps.

There customer service is great and horrible at the same time. Depends on who picks up the phone. So, if you get horrible service, just call back at another time.

Agreed. While I had great service, you had crappy service and it was like a week apart.

Oh well. I stand behind wedge but, I also stand behind rodneys work afterwards. Just do yourself a favor and DO NOT get the Sparco bracket, I tripped on mine the other day in the garage. I'd actually feel bad selling it to an unsuspecting customer. I almost sold it at the Expo but, the kid didn't come up with the $20. No biggie, now it's a lawn ornament.

Thanks rodney

I'm having the same problem with my sparco brackets and sparco torino's. I was wondering how safe would it be to customize your own seat bracket? I mean is there a certain steel to use and a certain type of welding that is better then another?

Try looking for a set of Mugen seat rails they will work with Sparco/Momo side mounted seats. I just got a Buddy Club race bucket and using Mugen side rails with it..

btw: they have a low seating position too!
