Thank you very much for the info!
My buddy has a buddyclub seat rail. but it looks different then some pictures i have found.
Instead of the adjustment lever right underneath in the middle. His has the 2 post things on the side that you flip down to lock in.
I couldnt figure out if i needed to use recaro sidemounts or not. I tried to mount the seat onto it without sidemounts and the rails are too narrow for the seat.
I guess ill try again with the recaro sidemounts and see if it makes a difference.

@JJ1 what year mazda 626?.....and to the OP i ordered a set of PP from vivid racing and they explained to me that recaro changed the design to black stitching for the red and blue seats so anything in those colors now will come in black logo....there's a month wait if you order and so far i havent recieved mines yet but so far vivid has the best price on recaro PP so just give josh a call and he'll hook you up.

There is another option for rails. a vendor on here sells them. The F1 spec rails. Just like the buddy clubs, but with out the shitty welds. instead the minting points are held to the rail via 2 phillips head screws and locking nut in the bottom potion of the rail. They also have a mount for the oem belt receptacle.

^actually the f1 spec rails blow. I had one before replacing it with a buddy club rail and it was far better. I had lots of problems with the f1 spec rail not sliding very well. The buddy club on the other hand just worked like I was expecting. It looks of better quality too.
