Anything will work with a certain amount of modification but no they won't bolt up (Which is why Bride offers seat rails).

I don't think Brides will work with anything else. Maybe sparco rails but those have you sitting higher then the OEM recaro's.

They work with sparco rails but one consideration you must make is are they bottom or side mount? If side mount you'll need the 90* adapters and you can use sparco or buddy club rails.

I had bride brix 2 in my GSX and tried to mount them to recaro rails with no luck. I eventually had to have them custom mounted since they never sold a bride bracket and rail for the eclipse. I would just go with a bride rail and bracket set from the manufacturer if you are already spending that much on seats. It is safer as well.

buddy clubs work, i have them.
if they are bottom mounted seats, then you need bottom mounted rails.
same for the side mounts, u need side mount rails like buddy club. stock rails wont work, or could but its a pita, stocks are bottom mount.
