Is the BRIDE Super Seat Rail FX Type FIA approved?

Yes. The FX Type is FIA approved, making it the only FIA-certified rail in the BRIDE performance seat rail lineup. For drivers competing in sanctioned events where the seat rail must carry FIA approval alongside the seat, the FX Type is the correct choice within the BRIDE range.

What seats is the FX Type compatible with?

The FX Type is compatible with the BRIDE fixed bucket seat series and edirb models 031, 042, 061, and 067, excluding the ZETA III Type-XL and the ZODIA. Third-party compatibility includes the RECARO SP-G, SPARCO PRO DRIVE, AAR Racing, COBRA, and any other seat whose mounting dimensions fall within 290mm length x 395mm breadth.

How does the FX Type differ from the FO Type and FG Type?

The FX Type achieves the same seating position as the FO Type and FG Type and shares the same mounting dimensions and seat compatibility range. The key differences are that the FX Type is FIA approved for competition use, uses aluminum side stays for a lighter and stiffer construction than the FO Type, and is designated as a fixed-type competition rail. The FO Type is priced at JPY 31,900 without FIA approval, and the FG Type at JPY 31,900 also without FIA approval. The FX Type at JPY 35,200 is the premium option for drivers who need the same position with certified competition credentials and aluminum construction.

What makes the FX Type a fixed-type competition rail?

The fixed-type designation means the rail does not incorporate reclining or adjustable back mechanisms, producing a more rigid and secure mounting platform suited to the structural demands of competition driving. Combined with aluminum side stays and FIA approval, the FX Type is engineered to maintain precise seat positioning under the forces generated in motorsport conditions.

How much does the FX Type lower the seat position?

The FX Type delivers a super low seating position of up to 30mm below standard, the same as the FO Type and FG Type. The actual reduction achieved is vehicle-dependent and the maximum 30mm is not guaranteed across all fitments.

What are the mounting dimensions of the FX Type rail?

The FX Type has mounting dimensions of 290mm length with a ±5mm tolerance and 395mm breadth, consistent with the FO, FG, IG, FK, and FB Types. Seats from other manufacturers that fall within these dimensions are also listed as compatible.

Is the BRIDE Super Seat Rail FX Type made in Japan?

Yes. The FX Type is manufactured in Japan to BRIDE's quality and fitment standards, consistent with the domestic production approach applied across the BRIDE seat and rail lineup.

Description

BRIDE FX Super Seat Rail

The BRIDE Super Seat Rail FX Type is a Japanese-manufactured FIA-approved competition seat rail, designed as a fixed-type rail for sanctioned motorsport use. Built with aluminum side stays for reduced weight and increased rigidity, the FX Type delivers a super low seating position of up to 30mm below standard, subject to vehicle type, and achieves the same seating position as the FO Type and FG Type within the BRIDE performance rail lineup. The FIA approval is the defining distinction that sets the FX Type apart from every other rail in the BRIDE lineup. For drivers competing in events where the seat rail must carry FIA certification alongside the seat itself, the FX Type is the only BRIDE rail in the performance range that satisfies this requirement. The fixed-type construction is designed for competition conditions where positional security and structural integrity under load are non-negotiable.

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.
