Recaro pole position SPG with buddy club rails
So "bjeong1381" helped me put in my seats and rails tonight and I wanted to touch base with other people who have the buddy club rails and recaro pole position seats. This is for the drivers seat.
Fronts = Mounted to the middle of three holes.
Rears = mounted to the top of five holes.
These are based on the rails closest to the door on the driver's side.
I'm not sure if this is the ideal seating position as the seat feels tipped forward. I am wondering if others are using different holes on the rails to mount for a more "reclined" position?
Mike? Can u chime in here? Vu?

I have the shorter stand in the front and the taller one in the rear.
In the front stand, I'm using the 3rd hole from the bottom (top hole), and in the rear I'm using the 2nd hole from the bottom. Using the 2nd hole in the rear is the lowest I can get the seat. Any lower and the seat bottoms out on the rail.

I don't mind the overall height of the seat, it the angle that feels like that crazy muscle car stance. I normally like sitting pretty high up, and pretty close.
It sounds like people are using the side mount seats both reversed and non-reversed (taller/shorter mounts in front/back). This surprises me because one of the rails seems direction specific (the other seemed like it could be flipped).
Luckily now that the rails and side mounts are lined up, I can just pop them out and adjust that rear position. Being that the rear is in the top of five holes, I'm going to aim to put it in the position that Vu has. That should be ideal.
