Default Racetech 4009WHR Seat Rail Suggestions?

I have a Racetech 4009WHR that is going into a caged CR. Any particular rail to get? I was thinking buddy club cuz I like to position the seat in a reclined position so I think I can do that with the height adjustments and it moves front to back. Any fitment issues?

Did you already check with Racetech? I get the Racetech marketing emails and just so happens I got one this morning that had some info on their own seat mounts and sliders. Not sure if they have one specific for the S. You'd have to check their website or call. Also not sure if it meets SCCA or NASA regs. Here is a quote from the email:
Universal Seat Sliders & Vehicle Specific Floor Mounts are now available from Racetech. These are not homologated by FIA, so we recommend use for Time Attack, HPDE, and track days. A few of the most popular car models are shown on the website. Please call for makes/models not shown.

I'm currently in the process of installing a pair of 4009 in my car with PCI rails and its tough. The inside bolster hits the center console and you'll need to cut out that little corner. I tried to just remove the padding but it wasn't enough.

also i'm going to have to figure out the slider situation cause the bottom of the seat comes down so much it blocks the bar from getting any leverage to move the sliders.

The 4009WHR is 30mm wider at the thigh bolsters than the 4009HR.

Default seat rails?

Best to fab up the floor pan and strip out as much as you can. Highly recommend using Racetech side mount brackets with the seat. Brian @ Racetech Call me direct if I can help.
