Pole Position seat height compared to OEM

Pole Position Rail Height
Hey guys
I've researched the forum for a while now and can not seem to find a definitive answer to my question. I am looking for seat rails to install Recaro Pole Positions in my S2000 which will provide a seating position which is just ever so slightly lower than OEM. I am 5"7 and do not want to sit too low compared to the stock seating position. From what I gather from reading through various threads, I understand that Bride RO rails or Recaro Japan Rails will provide this outcome, and the other options such as buddyclub etc will sit too low for my requirements. Can anyone provide any firm insight into their experiences with the various options and recommend which setup I should go for please, I would greatly appreciate that.
Thank you very much S2ki family

I just got new pole positions a few months ago with recaro rails combined with a planted technology base and it sits at stock height.. The only issue is since the seat sits upright and doesnt obviously recline my head sits about half inch higher than I did with my stock seat since I used to recline it almost as far back as possible.. Im 6ft tall so I'm about 1/2 inch from hitting my hardtop with my head since i now sit up right but since you're 5'7" you'll be fine.

Sorry if this is a super late response for you. I have my pole position bolted up to a pci seat rail. Gives you a touch of recline because of the various mounting spots. im 6'1 and fit perfectly with decent head room (still convertible). on the lowest setting on the rails the seat is damn near on the floor. Hopefully this helps man!

Went through this whole search process this year, and can report back:
Recaro Pole Position with a buddy club rail is the lowest you can get in the car. The bottom of the seat is on the floor. Still don’t pass broomstick test (no hpde’s for me), but the driving position is leagues better than stock. It’s a tight fit and you’ll need to find a shop willing the wrestle with the mounting. But if you have the $$, it’s the best choice for a street driven car. Narrow shoulder area but that’s kinda unavoidable in this car once you’re that low.
I tried a Corbeau fx1 pro first and it was a total fail, I couldn’t get it remotely as close to the floor as that setup^
