Default Seat rails to be used

What seat rails is everyone using with their pole position seats? Looking for some constructive criticism on brands available.
Thanks

I thought most people were using the buddy club ones.

You know adding pole positions seats to your car makes it slower right, LOL

If that's the case I'll have to get the pair....lol
I'm sick and tired of sliding around in the stock seats.
I saw the buddyclub's, probably the ones to go with.

I understand the "want" for some race buckets but have you at least tried a CG-Lock?

ive just made a switch to a bucket seat. im currently using the J's super low down rail. its quite nice, but buddy club is the most widely used set of rails from what i have seen. the CG lock is a good option.

in autocross the s2k seat ( non CR ) is a slip and slide. my knee was constantly braced against the door and i started to bruise. and im on street tires.

I track just 2-3 times per year and do not daily my car. My knees still get sore w/ a CG-Lock but I can concentrate more on driving than holding myself in the seat. It's not the perfect solution but it is inexpensive, easily removed for everyday driving and it's a nice "driver aid?" when on track IMHO.

its def an inexpensive option. but i think he goes quite a bit. F1 spec makes some affordable seats. im actually considering buying a seat from them. PM me if you wanna go half with me. i dont want to change my passenger side seat since it will be a hassle due to the air bag. their seats are good for HPDE and what not. im not sure if they are FIA certified.

Note that if you do hpde and have an instructor, you are required to have the same bucket seat for the passenger/instructor.

Are the pole positions comfortable for everyday driving, long trips?
I have a nice deal on one, but I'm not sure if I should look at an adjustable bride seat or the recaro.
I need some cushion for the lowerback
