Here is what you're looking for ( http://www.rodmillenstore.com/prodin...artID=RMEV062L ). According to the verbage used it will "lower" the seats ride height; at least that's what I can gather from it.

thats not really what im looking for, it doesnt slide, and it says its for sparco race seats, im looking for mounts, and sliders that fit the stock recaro seats, pretty much the same as stock just a few inches lower than stock

Yep.

HKS Kansai

http://www.hkskansai.co.jp/

Look under the CT9A section.

Part numbers:

KIM001
KIM002

You can also see them here:

I would expect that most HKS vendors can get them. Adam at Z1 ordered me a set.

Those rails are for the Evo V and VI. I'm not sure if they're different, but that's something you should look into before buying directly from that link posted above.

You may also want to check into Bride rails / sliders. I believe the bolt pattern fits Sparcos (this I know for sure) and Recaros. I used Bride rails on my old 240 and it brought the seats down a noticeable amount. The rails are a little shorter in height and the silders are considerably shorter than stock.

You can go on the site and get the price for the parts you want and the shipping to your door. There is also a 5% surcharge for international credit card sale.
