Default Seat Rails

I will be doing mostly HPDE with my now stock S2K. I just bought some NOS Recaro SPG's and need seat rails (a hard dog will be ordered next). The plan will be to use the stock seat belts for the street and harnesses on the track.

What seat rails should I purchase and where?

(from research it appears that Taitech and Buddy Club seem to popular)

(not that it matters, but experience question usually comes up: I am an instructor/advanced group, raced one year with HC, 10+ yrs of HPDE and autocross, etc. etc.)

Buddy club has a questionable quality review from several regaurding the welds.

I have the SOS taitec rails. If you need a side mount rail then I highly recommend them. Good quality and very adjustable.

for the stock seat Backyard special is the one I have and love it, not sure if the new seat you got is bottom mount or side.

The BYS lowers the bottom just shy of an inch so my helmet passes the broomstick

I have an used Bride seat rail for 06+ passenger for sale
it is a base mount but also comes with side plates so you can run it as a side mount as well
as far as I know it is the only one that will fit 06+ passenger except BuddyClub, which I do not recommend
