Thanks, checking it out.
In the meantime, I realized that the stock seatbelt receiver mounts to the stock seat/rail, so I need to figure out how to re-mount that. It is uncertain whether the Bride FG has provisions for the stock seatbelt receiver. The Fg rails do for many other applications, and Tees USa/Bride vaguely seemd to possibly confirm that it does for the Evo. Evasive said that the Buddy Club does not, although it does for other applications. In case it doesn't or if anyone else needs solutions, there are these:

I dont know if this applies to the EVO, but from my experience and with Buddy Club, Bridge FG, Nagisa Auto, Memory Fab. They are all the same height in three different cars in various combinations. They are basically sliders with the mounting points welded on it. The FG will include an additional mounting tab for Seat belt point. Thats about it. You cant get lower unless you bypass the slider and mount directly to floor.

I've owned the Bride FG and MO, Buddy Club, and Nagisa Auto. I've seen the Memory Fab on a friends car.

Hope that helps.

Good info Grip. After making calls all morning, I ended up just going straight to the best, SP Engineering, and ordered the Bride FG rails from them. Will provided the best service and price I could ever hope for. SP is second to none, 'nuff said. I'm glad I went this route.

SP is an excellent choice. Good prices and good service.

59evo, i see his custom made eye bolts, but that's not for the issue i was referring to. that's for mounting a harness as far as I can tell, and since that's lowering the stock seat, re-mounting the seatbelt receiver isn't a matter of if there is a provision or not.
What i'm talking about is, the FG rail may have NO place to re-mount to stock seatbelt receiver.
Or is that discussed somewhere in that looooonnngg thread and I missed it?

The FG rails do have a provision for the stock belt.

Digging up an oldie. Looking at either the Bride FO or FG rails. I'm 5'7"-5'8", wondering if the FG made the seat too low for you.

No they weren't, They were perfectly fine even for street driving. I wouldn't want a higher mounting rail. Looking at your avatar, if you ever want to have someone taller than you be able to drive with a helmet on, it's easier to go too high than too low.

Reviving this thread again. This time I have a Racetech RT4009 and Bride rails again. Well this issue now is that the Racetech has 4 holes on each side that are spaced different than Recaro or Bride, and the Bride rails were designed for two bolts, and only a few of the holes in the brides line up. To make matters worse, with the Racetech and the holes that do work, it's very high as other people have experienced.

So now I'm considering just ditching the sliders, despite my previous reasoning. Anyone know who can make me a mount? JID? Or local Bay Area fabricators?
