They both worked perfectly with the stock belt buckle/tensioner assembly and it's really nice to be able to reuse the factory slider from both a cost and safety perspective.

It is far cleaner to have each mount be a single piece rather than the Macht Schnell style with a floor plate, then a slider, then a side mount, etc. I genuinely cannot recommend the Brey Krause more - I thought they were fairly priced for being a perfect bolt in solution and just worked as expected.

wow, I had just stumbled across these last night. It looks like OG Racing is the only place in the states I can find them on their website.

i have factory manual seats. was the install fairly simple? Would love to have the factory sliders under the seat. I'm 5'9", you had mentioned some height issues with the direct to floor mount, do you think i'd have those issues if I went that route? Did the bracket to the OEM sliders lower you in the car with your sparco's? Thats my main concern because I can't really fit in the car with a helmet on in the stock seats and I'm not super tall by any means.

I think the BK setup is what i'm going to go with...

Thank you for your post! what a wealth of information.
