Group Buy – HKS lowered seat rail - £130

[Rob R]

I'd be interested in this as well

If we're all looking for something lower then the Brides, It has been suggested in another post by Dotty that the HKS, Vanner and Feels seat rails are some of the lowest;

Might be worth getting a price/seeing if there is a possibility of a group buy on these?

OP, could you ask Matt about a group buy on any of the above 3 mentioned rails?

as i think we are in universal agreement that the bride drop seems pointless in comparison to the others

Happy to ask, but the issue is we don't actually know the drop a Bride rail will give, or the HKS until someone who has it fitted measures it for us.

'I have no idea how it can make such a difference but the feedback it gives when sat 2inch's lower to the ground is much better.'

This is quoted here;

Not sure If It's just a reference or an actual measurement, but by the looks of the picture of the recaros, It's almost seems like the drop is the same size at the Harness holes, If that makes sense.

But I concur, We could do with this confirming by someone before committing to anything.

Hopefully Rom can chime in and confirm the drop on the Bride rails?

I've got the HKS lowered seat rail, by far one of my favourite modifications!!

I can measure the difference if needed?

That would be a real help If you could.

Thanks Jazmo.

 

[jazmo]

No worries, will get a picture and measure later!

 

[jazmo]

Measurements as requested!

 

[Lukeyboi89]

that looks around 2 inches?

seems perfect to me!

 

[jazmo]

Yeah 2 inches mate! Makes it so much better to drive

 

[ND1989]

Easy to fit? bolt on seat, bolt in to car?

 

[jazmo]

I'm useless mechanically and I fitted it myself in about 40 minutes.....

Just unbolt from car (4 bolts), remove old rail, bolt new rail and then re install.

Just got to rememder to disconnect the connector below the seat before you rip the seat out!

Awesome, same situation as in my civic. I just wanted to make sure nothing else needed drilled or messed with. I converted the price earlier in the week, works out at around £120 before shipping.

 

[tristanpalmer]

Looks perfect... Thanks Jamzo.

Will ask the question now.

Awesome man, Thank you for confirming!

 

[tristanpalmer]

Ok... If we can get 6 of us (Which I think we can)... It'll be £130 each for the HKS rails (That's per side obviously).

Please confirm if you're in! (Edit: And what side for!)
