Default Seat Experts...Need Help...Bride with Sparco brackets!!!

Ok, basically I have a Bride Vios III bucket and Nagisa Auto super low seat rails but I have a few problems. First, I'm on the short side and this setup is way too low for me!!! The second problem is that the adjustment handle on the NAMS rails is on the left side, this is extremely annoying because there is very little room between my seat and the door to adjust. I've read a few posts here about people complaining that the Sparco setup is too high (which is good for me). So I'm thinking of going with Sparco base, Sparco sliders and Sparco side mounts. Does anyone know if this will work on my Bride Vios? Anyone have any other suggestions to raise my seat?

the sparco base is pretty universal. i.e. flat and has holes. you can always drill new holes to move the side attachment bases closer or further apart-.

i'd measure the distance between the mounting holes on the Bride and then call Sparco to ask the disance between their mounting holes and go from there-

cause they are made by Bride! who would use Bride seat brackets w/ Bride seats? Sorry OP just a little flame. Serious, you may also look into a different Bride seat. You did choose the lo-max. Which unfortunately sits real low from what I've seen. I have Bride Brix II and they sit pretty high. GL man.

From what I gathered, at least on S13s and S14s, the Bride FG rail is just as low as the Nagisa rail. As for why I chose the seat, it was a deal that I couldn't pass up. Anyway, I fabbed up some custom brackets temporarily until I get my hands on the Sparco stuff.

Sparco brackets will sit higher than the Bride or Nagisa.
