    jsut wondering if anyones got thoese after market seats similar to the ones jus jap are selling, bride nock offs?

    my question is, with putting the seats in to a sprinter can you use the orginal seat rails that bolt in to the floor and the seat slides on and put the other seat in on top of them in stead of having to much around with making the new rails compatible?

    they seam similar but im not totally sure it will work or if its safe to do so?

    I tried swapping rails once and it didn't work out and I couldnt get them back onto the seats but that might have just been those seats.
    Also how much are just the rails? I always thought they were pretty expesive.

    You can drill grind chop the original seat base off and fit a aftermarket, but most seats end up too high imo. Even a bride on a bride rail is higher than a oem seat. I've got a obx daytona, and it has too much underthigh padding, giving a knees up seating position. Would be better if I made some custom lower mounts, but i'd probably lose the slider in the process.

    Your right on the money
    Your seat will sit higher alot higher and if ur tall u better hope u have a recliner

    I've seen Josh Youngs (mr2drift) seat rails and he mad them super low but yes u do lose the slyder which means u have to get a mod plate for a 2 seater and then u have to register it as a 2 seater so yeah sorta sucks wang both ways
