sw20 racing seat options?

hey guys i have a 1990 na sw20 hard top.
so im looking at upgrading to race seats, but i want to know if you can fit some to stock rails?
or do i have to find some rails. and what brands sw20 owners go for.
i dont care about brand as long as it looks good and performs and is a little deeper then stock seats
also if anyone has rails and seats for sale, im interested.

cheers.

    Stock rails will not suit aftermarket seats, at best you can cut the mounting brackets off to use on aftermarket rails but I wouldn't recommend it.
    Bride and Recaro rails are readily available for SW20's, plus others and also custom made ones as well.
    Seats would be a personal preference thing IMO, try out as many as you can and see what's comfortable and suits your height/size.

    Revolution Racegear have plenty of seats to test. Make sure you allow enough head room for your helmet.
    If your over 5'8", you will need to lower the seat for clearance.

    May be best to make your own rails to suit your seat. You can design then have it fabricated to suit.
    Chances are, your seat will fit behind the front mounting bracket while still being able to reach your pedals. If this is the case, you will be able to lower the seat without issue of effecting your pedal operation.

    I have a set of Velo racing seats i'm looking to get rid of for a set of more comfortable/adjustable seats. There great if your racing regularly but, not so much on long trips. What have you got in yours at the moment?
    Any help with suppliers of comfortable/adjustable racing seat suppliers in Vic region would be greatly appreciated.
