Default Recommended setup for Sparco Roadster seats???

Hey guys,

I'm planning on buying a pair of Sparco Roadster seats, and was wondering the best setup options as far as brackets and rails are concerned.

My main concerns are:
-No drilling required (I've heard that Taitec sidemount sliding rails utilize factory holes, how about Sparco rails?)
-Lowest possible seat height (I'm 6'0", so the lower I can get the better I can see)
-Adjustibility isn't really an issue, since there isn't much room in our S2000's anyways, but are you able to mount your seat all the way back w/ non-adjustable brackets?)

Any help you guys can give me would be great. I don't know much about the different seat mounting options at all.

The Taitec rails are decent. I liked the options it had for leaning the seats back. There are three bolt holes in the front and two in the back allowing the seats to be mounted at an angle. The fronts set on the top hole and the backs set on the bottom hole makes for a very comfortable seating position. The only thing that sucks about the Taitec rails is the method for sliding the seats forwards and backwards. A lever on each side of the rail has to be in the up position. Without a tool it's just about impossible to get the inside (towards the shifter) lever in the up position because it sits so close to the center console. Once you get the seats set you won't want to move them.
