Seat brackets for Cobra Suzuka/Monaco Seat

I'm buying a used Cobra Suzuka Seat for my IX, and also going to buy a new Cobra Monaco seat for passenger side.

The Cobra website doesn't have any part numbers for Mitsu vehicles, and I emailed them yesterday with no response. So does anyone know if other seat brackets will work, or any insight?

I've never swapped seats before, so it's unfamiliar territory for me.

thanks ya'll

I've use the Buddy Club seat brackets/sliders for a few different seats in my car. Works great.

it looks like they come as a bracket/slider combo. And they're actually going to work/install correctly?

yeah its a combo piece. i ran one in one of my old civics. i ran it with a buddy club seat which was side mount if i recall. it makes it a lot less complicated than other options, but im not sure how low it sits the seat...thats my only concern as i think the bride rails (which are similar to the BC's) have been said to keep the seat somewhat high.

Well, I think I might pull the trigger on the buddy club slider combo this week, as well as the Monaco seat. I got my Suzuka seat, and am anxious to get everything put in

Yes, works well. Not as smooth as OEM I would say, but better than the normal aftermarket slider combo
