Default seat + rail for lowest position

Hello.

I am 6'1", 33-34 waist. I went from Pole Position ABE + PCI fixed rails to Bride Xero CS on Bride FG rails. I was happy with how the Bride feels as it held me better (ABE was too wide in the hip area for me i was moving around a lot on the track), but I felt like I sat way too high even with drilling another hole in the rail. To sit lower, I changed just the rails to the Bride LF rails, but It's not that much better. I am now on the fence to try the PCI sliders on the current seat as the current seat fits me so well.

kicker: I did try the Recaro RMS, and I am very happy with the seating position in it, but I don't find it as comfortable as my Bride and it's 2x the cost...

I am down to try other Bride seats if I can go lower, but at the moment the Xero CS fits me pretty much perfect in terms of amount of tightness around the hips, shoulders, and where the harness hole is (lines up perfectly with my shoulders).

Any suggestions? I was looking at the Bride A.i.r. but maybe the upper piece is too small? I already sat in the Recaro RSG. It's too tight for my butt and doesn't get me low as the RMS.

I poked around a bit when I picked up my current S2k a couple months ago and it seems the lowest possible seating combo is a Recaro Pole Position seat with the cushion removed on Nagisa ultra low rails. I ordered both but the seat seller didn't respond to me within a month so I had to do a Paypal chargeback and am still looking for a shop that either has a blue seat or can order one. Rails are on back order in theory until December this year or possibly later.

have you tried using bride LF (Low Max) rails? I had the vios 3 with LF rails and I cant imagine a lower setup. (have sat on numerous recaros, bride, sparco with recaro rails, buddy club, PCI etc)

I have the Tillett B5 with custom brackets and are literally touching the floor. I'm 6,5 and I can really feel the difference: from no space between the knee and the cluster frame to have more than 3 inches there, and my head is now protected between the a pillar and the roll hoops.

could you take pics? I'm just a hair under 6'5" and my goal was to use these Nagisa ultra low rails (finally arrived) with a Recaro Pole Position seat assuming I can find a new blue one that is actually in stock anywhere.

Stock, I don't really have leg room issues though heel-toe shifting is a little tricky but my head sticks up a few inches above the top of the factory roll hoop plastic. With the soft top up my hair is just brushing it.
