Ok my cousin bought me some FAKE bride seats for my bday( I HATE FAKE THINGS BUT O WELL, ILL JUST TRY THEM FOR A WHILE THEN SELL) Overall the seat is not that bad for a fake. Everything is pretty much sterdy and looks really legit. Only problem is he bought me a pair of weapon r brackets and damn my seats sit to high. Matter a fact the brackets didnt even go with the universal sliders that the digos came with. I had to drill hoes.. But damn the back of the seat almost wants to hit the headliner. If i bought bride brackets and sliders would they fit on fake bride digos? PLEASE HELP...Got a car show on may the 3rd so please help fast.

You need low profile seatrails probably. Try talking to someone from frsport.com.

Here is a link to their Bride Seat Rail:

you probably have bottom mounted seat rails.

You need sidemount seat rails to sit lower. I'm not sure about the bootleg Bride seats, but there should be mounts on the side.

Ok I found out that the seats are not fake. I thought that cuz my cousin bought them so didn't think he was gonna pay about 1890 bucks. That's why. Was freaked out about how good they were lol the only thing he bought cheap were the rails. Weapon r...it's a ok brand don't get me wrong. As long as it works good. It's kooooo... Yes fail for me not knowing they were real. Just called bride to see if they were legit and they were. I ordered new rails. Comes in Friday ....thanks all the positive people not haterzzzzzzz. Get a life and actually try to teach people not throw stupid comments to there face. No wonder why we the human race never progresss lol

or how about take the time to think things over, before running to a forum and confusing yourself in front of dozens of people.

do that and next time I'll be more helpful.
