Well last I checked the choices were fairly limited, right? BC or Taitec?

I don't think taitec rails are still in production and they are alsp pricey...
BC rails are decent. Eventually it would wear down but it should take a few years...
Don't get the f1spec rails...they are just BC replicas which is about $20 to $30 cheaper...

Taitec rails rock! Check in with Science of Speed maybe to see if they might be able to get some.

While we seem to be getting a bit off topic from the thread, I'll still chime in...

I ended up with BC rails but was considering Nagisa. After installing them, Jei informally measured the height of mine vs. his Nagisa rails (we have the same seat) and found the Nagisa to be a bit lower, but I don't think it was by much. He might still remember the difference if you want the numbers.

I'm pretty sure you still won't pass a broomstick test just by getting lowering rails and a seat, though, Rob, but I dunno if that was your goal...

I doubt Rob will pass by just lowering the seat since he's pretty tall... it helps but he might need to finish it off with a roll bar

After a seat drop, the wind will be in his hair instead of his eyes!

Yea, I know I won't pass the broomstick test with the lowered seat. I'd have to also get a roll bar which isn't something I am willing to do. I'm more interested in the improved viewing angles and comfort.

Ah the wind in my hair. That would be really awesome if I had more hair.
