right ive done a search and i know DC5 rails and Premier rails will work, i have a recaro seat but cant find any rails to fit it to my EP3, not sure what its out of, i think an evo of some sort.

Question is do any other rails work except the dc5 rails or premier rails as i cant find any anywhere!

this is the seat in question that i want to fit into the drivers side at the moment.

Any help, links or advice is appreciated.

Ive got a Bride, super low rail that was originally for a DC5, modded to fit the EP3 which I ran for a few years before going to a pair of prem rails.

Was they modded like you do the normal DC5 rails by making the holes slightly longer? £220 is abit steep though for a rail dont you think

Yeah I had to have the bottom of the rail extended to fit, and then use washers and a longer bolt to secure it. Worked well though.

Yeah £220 is well expensive for a rail.

Mine works fine, but is a bit stiff to slide back and forth, not sure if the runners need a good grease or just a good clean up of the bearings etc, but if you are interested, drop me a pm
