Hi i have a few questions. I was under the impression that the normal spg would not hit the door panel, i'm on a buddy club rail, front is on 3 (middle) and rear is on the 1st (lowest). I did put some washers between the door panel insert which probably gave me an extra 1-3mm more space but still rubs Would shaving down that long triangular foam piece help(between the actual door and door panel)
any advice is greatly welcomed!

edit- I also put one 1mm washer between where the rail and the seat makes contact to prevent marks and stuff.

You were under a mistaken impression. You can get the SPG in without hitting the door trim, but only if it is mounted a little off center (towards the tunnel).

The only SPG I have seen NOT rub is when they filed down the seat where it rubs. Even 3 mm would still rub. Mine rub like CRAZY, I have tried everything from spacers, to moving the rail, to changing rails (from Recaro rail to Mugen)... but I didn't want to file the seats down because the fabric looks loose around there.

But if someone has a solution I am all ears!

My SPG-N doesn't rub the door panel or block the console. It's also mounted on custom built brackets on a Taitec rail, and I don't sit with the seat as far back as possible.

I have a Recaro SPG mounted on Buddy Club rail and I too rub the door ever so slightly. I'd just shave a couple millimeters off the shoulder bolster.

i would do that too, but its too hard for me to hack up my new seat

did anyone here ever try heating the back of the door panel and then pushing the door panel in, to make a little smooth divot for the seat to sit in... if you were so inclined you could make the divot cylindrical so you can slide you seat back and forth still...

or maybe the door panel is not structured internally so that is possible?
