I have a quick question I know may be dumb to many but when you buy aftermarket seats like a Bride seat for example do I absolutely need to buy Bride rails or can I get aftermarket Eclipse rails? My guess was I had to buy Bride rails but I was just making sure.

well... are you talking about RAILS/SLIDERS, or BRACKETS.... 2 different things

Brackets.

i got a momo bucket to run in my 240. i just took my stock seat rails and welded on some cross bars to bolt the momo to. it was actually a lot more work than i make it sound like, but its doable as long as you have a tape measure, sharpie, angle grinder, welder, drill, and a variety of scrap metal

lol

to be honest it might be cheaper to take the seats to a shop like JMF or something and have them quote you on some custom jawns. I dunno... sometimes the aftermarket brackets are like $400 for 2 lol and you might only spend $300 at a shop for custom ones that you know will fit.

Just weld them to the floor.

No you will not be able to use your stock Eclipse rails.

That being said, a lot of aftermarket seats have the same style rail, so you don't need to get BRIDE rails. I picked up a set of $100 rails for my BuddyClub seat, I don't even remember who makes them lol.

Yo Josh, I was just talking to a buddy of mine that got his brackets for $100 each and he has a DSM. Hit me up and we'll talk, he said they work awesome.

Most bottom mount seats use the same brackets and most side mount seats use the same brackets. They are pretty standardized.

I have Bride seats and Recaro brackets. You can mix and match as long as they fit. The brackets, depending on the brand have some room to make them fit.
