Question reviews for aftermarket seat mounting setups?

i had a member here who raved about the rigidity of Brey-Krause's setup due to the implementation of OE sliders. however, this requires soldering (which is an immediate no for me because of vehicle resale complications) and way more involvement than a bolt-on aftermarket. however, i also don't like the idea of increased slop going with full aftermarket style. i am purposing my setup for a dual duty street/track M4 using Recaro SPG's. a little slop can be afforded given anything would be better than my butt sliding around during hard cornering in my stock seats.

as much as i'd like to given it would be the most direct feel, i can't do DTF (direct-to-floor, not you know what ) setups because then i am too bottomed out (hey now) in an F82. does anyone have experience with VAC's setup and Macht Schnell's turnkey Clubsport? i imagine the latter has some noticeable slop given what looks like thin, staggered floor mount components, so i'm a little wary.

I've had the MS and the BK, and the Sparco sliders. The BK is head and shoulders better.

Switch to manual sliders and there's no soldering involved. That's what I did in my CS.

Where did you procure the manual OE sliders?
