Okay had them in and they fitted nicely each side
Was happy for all of 10mins untill I found out I had put them so low the the Handle for sliding back and forward had bottomed out.... The happiness soon went and I gave up and left it for another week

They do sound a pain in the arse but once you have fitted them once or twice, it's pretty easy. Sadly you end up losing paint from the seat bases and have skinned knucles They really arent' designed to fit the S2000 but they are good once they are in.
PS ive got a seat belt extender for sale if you need it.
Ill be on my 3rd go now so ill be a pro soon
Atleast I know what I have to do now it's just getting around to doing it
By the way how is it you use the buddyclub seats when they are not FIAR approved?

Current MSA regs don't require an FIA seat for saloon cars. Scrutineer at Silverstone tried to have me on that one!
PS the slider rail can fit up or down facing. It should be down, but if the seat is too low it will be kissing the floor. As I say, it can be bent a bit though.

I met a chap at the Mimms meet yesterday who had fitted DC5 Recaros on custom made rails. I had a try and I have to say they seem to be a good replacement for stock seats for a daily driver. They sat a lot lower than the OEM seats and the side compartment still opens. Sadly I dont have any pictures.
I liked the DC5 recaro's though
