Default Where to find seat rails

Hey guys

I'm looking for seat rails to suit 1997 GC8 WRX, as I'm looking to put it some aftermarket race seats in. I've looked through this forum and had a look on ebay and gumtree but can't seem to find any.

If anyone knows a good place to source these or know of anyone selling some please let me know.

Cheers

I use a set of Kyouu Seat subaframes. These mount directly to the floor pan using the original seat mount points. There was a guy selling them in Canning Vale on Ebay.

Then bolted to them are some seat side mounts (forget brand, but these are all more or less the same thing). They connect dir3ctly to my OMP seats. I could have opted to also fit sliders between the subframes and the side mounts. But opted not to because race car with fixed backs.

You could also go for a weld in seat base aswell.

Thanks mate

That's basically what I'm looking to do also. I just need to find a pair (or just the driver's side for now) rails so I can bolt side mounts onto them. If you remember the name of the bloke in canningvale or some across any rails please let me know.

Cheers

I got a set of seat rails (Sparco) from Mike Nairn PRG in Perth. Not cheap, but direct bolt in. (for GD)
