Can I bolt my factory GE seat to this rail?

No. The rail is designed only for full bucket seats that mount through four bolts on the sides. The factory seat and reclining semi-bucket seats are not compatible. No seat comes with the rail, so you will need a side-mount bucket to complete the installation.

How low does the Ultra-Low Seat Rail for GE cars sit?

With a Recaro bucket in its lowest position, the manufacturer measured the Ultra-Low Seat Rail for GE cars about 80mm below the stock seat. The exact figure changes with the seat you choose and small differences between cars, so it is a reference value and not a guaranteed drop.

Does it fit both the early and late GE Fit?

Yes. The manufacturer lists the rail for early GE Fits built up to September 2010 and late cars built from October 2010, across the GE6, GE7, GE8 and GE9. That covers the US market GE8 Fit from both before and after its facelift.

Do I need to buy two rails?

For one seat you need one rail, either Right or Left, matched to the seat position. If you are fitting buckets on both front seats, order one of each. Each rail is priced and shipped as a single item, and the price shown covers one rail only.

Is it suitable for circuit driving?

Yes. The manufacturer states the rail can be used in motorsport. The rigid frame and a lock lever on each side resist the lateral force of hard cornering, and the design was strength tested at a public laboratory and sled tested at the Japan Automobile Research Institute.

J’s Racing Ultra-Low Seat Rail for GE Honda Fit

J’s Racing’s Ultra-Low Seat Rail for GE Fits answers a common complaint from owners of the taller second generation car: even with a full bucket on the seat maker’s rails, you still sit high. The Osaka shop relocated the lock levers to the outer sides, which lets the seat body fall between the rails instead of resting above them. Using a Recaro bucket at its lowest setting, J’s Racing recorded a drop of about 80mm compared with the stock GE seat. The 395mm wide rail fits early and late GE6 through GE9 cars and takes side-mount buckets only. It suits drivers who want a low, braced position, not a commuter keeping the factory seat.

Construction

A rigid frame carries the seat, and a lever on each side locks the slide, so the rail can take the sideways load of circuit cornering. J’s Racing rates it for motorsport. The company backs that up with a strength test at a public industrial testing laboratory in June 2010 and sled testing at the Japan Automobile Research Institute in October 2014 and March 2017.

About J’s Racing

J’s Racing was established in Osaka in 1989, as VTEC engines and lightweight Civics and Integras were changing what a Honda could do, and it has built parts for Hondas ever since. The company develops engine response, suspension, braking, cooling and aerodynamics together as one system, then proves the parts in time attack, gymkhana, endurance and circuit racing. Its Fit lapped Tsukuba Circuit in 1’00.459, and its naturally aspirated AP1 S2000, the Maou car, became the company’s reference build for the Honda roadster. Every J’s Racing part is designed and tested in Japan, and J’s Racing USA in Carson, California handles distribution in the United States.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
