Seat Rail Mounting Angle- R33

[Yeedogga]

Hi all,

i bought some bottom mount seat rails a while back. They were autotecnica ones which i have since sold.

However, i remember that when they were fitted in the car (without seat on) they sat on a serious angle ( the front end was significantly higher than the rear)

is this normal for a 'low mount' seat rail?

I cant help but wonder that it would make a fixed back seat sit on a serious backward lean..

Im using bride MO (but these are side mount seats) rails Im pretty sure and they dont seem to lean back at all...

Photo to show what I mean;

that does seem to be on quite an angle...

although just looking at a photo of mine, doesnt show angle very well, but may give an idea...

Those autotechnica rails seem to do that. I had one as well, hatted it.

Got one of these instead, much much lower.

Hmm. I dont really want it to sit too low (as im not partucularly tall!!) i just dont want the seat to be on a backwards lean.

I can see the lean being a problem with the seat i want to get. Its a fixed back seat that has alot of under- thigh padding and a deep arse pit. If its leaning back ill never be able to get out haha!
