BRIDE IG Super Seat Rail

BRIDE utilizes hand–measured data from actual cars to craft master seat rails that deliver maximum strength and accuracy. Subsequently, the company creates molds and implements mass production methods to craft the rails for each vehicle, as they all differ in shape.

A computer can be employed in the designing of rails, however, instead of assigning measurements to the design, measurements are taken manually in order to precisely create each element such as bolt hole size, thus eliminating unnecessary space between parts and optimizing the seat to frame and seat to rail fit. Nine models are made for reclining seats and ten models are made for full bucket seats, ensuring the best seat position for over 800 car models.

Utilizes Sliders Made By Faurecia Exclusively For BRIDE

• BRIDE exclusively uses Faurecia (France), a globally renowned manufacturer of mechanical components, to supply the critical sliders for their BRIDE super seat rail
• The sliders have 2.0mm thick upper rails and 2.3mm thick lower rails. They lock on both sides, remain secure without rattling, and have a strong and long–lasting construction. The pitch is 10mm and they have a 220mm slide amount

Frequently Asked Questions

• What seats is the BRIDE Super Seat Rail IG Type compatible with? The IG 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 SPG, SPARCO PRO DRIVE, AAR Racing, COBRA, and any other seat whose mounting dimensions fall within 290mm length x 395mm breadth.
• Which BRIDE seats are not compatible with the IG Type? The ZETA III Type-XL and the ZODIA are explicitly excluded from IG Type compatibility. Buyers fitting either of these models should use the appropriate alternative rail for their specific seat.
• What makes the IG Type different from the FG Type? The IG Type is described by BRIDE as a lightweight, high-rigidity version of the FG Type. The key construction difference is the use of aluminum side stays in place of the standard components on the FG Type. Aluminum side stays reduce the overall weight of the rail while improving structural rigidity, making the IG Type the preferred option for drivers who want the same 50mm super low position capability as the FG Type with a lighter and stiffer rail assembly. The IG Type is priced at JPY 35,200 compared to the FG Type at JPY 31,900, reflecting the aluminum construction upgrade.
• How much does the IG Type lower the seat position? The IG Type is rated for a super low position of up to 50mm below standard, subject to vehicle type. As with the FK Type and FB Type, the IG Type carries a secondary caveat that depending on the vehicle, the seat position may not be lower at all after installation. Buyers for whom achieving the maximum drop is critical should confirm the achievable reduction for their specific vehicle before purchasing.
• How does the IG Type fit into the BRIDE performance rail lineup? The BRIDE performance rail lineup for fixed bucket seats includes the FO Type at JPY 31,900 with up to 30mm drop, the FG Type at JPY 31,900 with up to 50mm drop, the IG Type at JPY 35,200 with up to 50mm drop using aluminum side stays, the FK Type at JPY 37,400 with up to 50mm drop, and the FB Type at JPY 42,900 with up to 50mm drop. The IG Type is the step between the FG Type and FK Type, offering the weight and rigidity advantages of aluminum construction at a price between the two. All five rails share the same mounting dimensions and seat compatibility range.
• What are the mounting dimensions of the IG Type rail? The IG Type has mounting dimensions of 290mm length with a ±5mm tolerance and 395mm breadth. Seats from other manufacturers that fall within these dimensions are also listed as compatible. Confirm the mounting footprint of any unlisted seat against these dimensions before purchasing.
• Is an import side stay required for any of the compatible seats? No import side stay requirement is stated for the IG Type. All listed compatible seats, including the RECARO SPG and SPARCO PRO DRIVE, are directly compatible without additional hardware based on the source information provided.
• Is the BRIDE Super Seat Rail IG Type made in Japan? Yes. The IG 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.
