Sparco seats owners: questions about the sliders?
Does Sparco make sliders/brackets/rails for our cars? Don't see it listed on their website.
btw, I'm assuming sliders/brackets/rails are synonymous?

sliders are two sliders and a U shaped pipe that connects the two and serves as the handle.
brackets are for side mount seats, usually race buckets. Most reclinables are bottom-mount and do not need brackets. Some people use the work brackets in place of base plate.
base plates are the parts that adapt the seat/slider to the car. You need one for each seat. You technically do not need sliders as you can mount the seat directly to the base plate in most cases (but, surprise, you can't slide your seat). It's actually not that bad if you are the only driver of the car and it's an S (since you don't need to get in the back) and will save you almost 2" of seat height.
rails can refer to anything i guess.

Referring to the URL, if I was to get either (thinking of) Sparco Roadster or Sparco Torino, I just need the Universal Base Mount and Seat Rack Set for either model of seats?

I'm using a Taitec slider kit for a Sparco Roadster seat. It's plug & play and will lower your seating position about 2". I bought mine from Science of Speed - here's the link: http://www.scienceofspeed.com/products/int...eat_rails/side/
