Feedback Experience Wanted: Comparison of Seat Rails & Adapters for Side Mount Seats
I am planning on getting some aftermarket side mounted seats and wanted to get feedback on different rails and adapters available. After doing some research, this is the list of available options that I have compiled.
Please reply with your experience for each different rail using the following key points:
Overall build quality
Fitment
Seating height (higher or lower than oem's seating position)
Torsion rigidity (do the mounts flex/twist when you please body load on it)
Full forward / back slider adjustment
How smooth is the sliding mechanism
Material (if know such as steel or aluminum)
Does it has a mounting point for the OEM 3-point seat belt receptacle?
Would you recommend it?
I am not affiliated with any of these vendors. I am linking them for reference.
