The PCI high strength racing sliders are made to our specifications using heavier gauge steel and hardened steel roller balls. Extra lower mounting holes have been added to allow the sliders to be bolted to the base with 4 bolts per slider. Mounting each slider to the base with 4 bolts will greatly increase the strength when the slider is slid forward or backward and not perfectly centered. Features a 355mm release handle.

Seat runner and slider guide
Sliding runners let you move a fixed back bucket seat forwards and backwards. There is one thing everybody gets wrong about them, and it is worth clearing up before you look at the range.
Match the handle width to the seat
Measure across the underside of your seat between the two mounting rails, or check the seat width the manufacturer quotes. Then pick the runner whose handle spans it.
| Handle width | Sold as | What it suits |
|---|---|---|
| 290 mm | Retro and Sportline | Narrow shells and classic seats |
| 291 mm | Cobra, Corbeau | The common narrow option |
| 320 mm | Motorsport STD | Standard width bucket seats |
| 345 mm | Corbeau | A step up from standard |
| 370 mm | Motorsport L | Wider shells |
| 405 mm | Motorsport XL, Cobra, Corbeau | The widest we stock |
If you are between two, go by the seat rather than by preference. A handle that is too narrow will not reach the rails and one that is too wide will foul the tunnel or the sill.
Runners made for a specific seat
Some kits are built for one shell rather than sold by width. If your seat is on this list, that kit is the easier answer.
| Brand | Seats | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tillett | B5, B8, B9 | Runner kits made for those shells |
| Recaro | Pro Racer SPA and SPG, standard and XL | Two widths, matched to the shell |
| Sparco | P1300GT and P1300GT LW | Base mount kit, quotes a seat width |
| Cobra | Nogaro | Sliding fitting kit for that seat |
| Endurance | Sparco and Recaro compatible | Aftermarket kits to suit those shells |
What a runner costs you
Height
A runner sits between the seat and the subframe, so it lifts you. In a car with a cage and a helmet that is the first thing to check, because the few centimetres it adds is exactly the amount you did not have spare. If you are tall, work out your headroom before you commit to running sliders at all.
Rigidity
A fixed seat bolted straight to a subframe is the stiffest way to mount it. A runner adds a moving joint. It is entirely normal for road and track day use, and it is why a lot of competition cars do without.
Sharing the car
The obvious reason to fit them. If two drivers use the car, or you drive it to the circuit and someone else drives it home, runners are worth the height and the weight. If it is your car and only yours, bolting the seat where you want it is simpler and lower.
Widths and compatibility read from our own product data, checked 2 August 2026. All runners in this range give the same fore and aft adjustment.
