sparco seats into R53

I'm not understanding what I need to mount these sparcos into a R53, I like my seats cranked up high so I'm not sure if this is what I need.

seats are older R600s I think
http://www.sparcousa.com/product/r600

some sites sell sparco 600SB094L and 600SB094R seat base

sparco website says this with no mention of side rail for the "street" seats

-Seat Base (600 series)
-Track Set (#00493)*
-Bottom Mount Hardware Kit (#50001)

do I need side mounts for these so I am not sitting on the floor? I think the sparco part number is 004902 for steel side mounts

i used the sparco seat mounts and sparco sliders, I'll take some pics this weekend.

Drivers side is too low for me, needs to be 2" higher I'm going to raise it with some square tubing
