View Full Version : Matching Seat Rails with Aftermarket Seats?

I got a pair of Sparco Sprint Juniors, and I need some seat rails to go with.
I have seats rails that fit an EF civic, but obviously that wouldn't fit in the ep3.
Is any part of the current rails that I have for the EF, usable or do I need to replace the whole thing?

Also, I've heard that not all seat rails fit.
How do I know which seat rail to pair with my Sparco Sprint Junior's, guaranteeing they'd fit?

I posted this in the quick/dumb questions thread, sorry for starting a new thread
But I felt this was a topic that might be worth taking to the Interior section.

Sparco Sprints are bottom mount seats so you will have to order seat rails for bottom mount seats.. Since the ep3 has an air bag in the stock seat I would say you're going to have to order stock seat rails for an EP3R. (Correct me if i'm wrong guy's)

I really only know side mount seats. They are way easier. lol

I've never dealth with sliders and rails so I don't know.
In an s2k and miata, I bolted the seats straight to the floor
We were to tall, and our helmet needed to be below the roll bar.
I mean i think they had rails, but I don't know what out of what I have is reusable or not

Maybe that's what I need
I'll look around and I'll call Wedge and see whats up
Thanks!

Do you know about how much price wise, I'd be looking at for the brackets either custom or market released?

They can get you market release too but it's gonna be pricey. I don't remember the prices but i have done so many custom brackets with them i don't even remember anymore.
