Default Taitec seat rails vs. Buddy club seat rails

I'm thinking about ditching my buddy club seat rails for some Taitec rails (If i can find them). Has anyone had both and can you tell me how much lower the Taitec rails actualy are, if any? I'd really like to get another inch (or more if possible) lower as i'm 6'4". Thanks

You can mount seats to touch the floor with buddy club rails. My recaro pole positions drag on the floor when you try to adjust forward or back.

My sparcos don't, they bottom out on the rail itself.

I don't know about taitec, but don't the buddy club's have poor welds? I know there was a case where they broke durring normal driving.

The pole positions are as wide or wider than the sparcos. You have to fit the seat between the rails.

Buddy club welds have broke in the past. So has bride, taitec and probably every other seat rail. There are more bc rails out there than any other rail. There are bound to be issues here and there.

I track on my bc rails. I'm 200lbs and have had no issues
