For track use I'd still want the harnesses to be bolted directly to the chassis
The Southbound side mounts will allow the seat to be mounted 4mm lower because the thickness of the RS mounting tab and associated leveling washers is eliminated.

Excellent! Thank you!
Anyone have a pair of Southbound side mounts for sale?

With my other modified turbo style seats I have like 6” of headroom. The Recaros sit really high and close for tall people.

Precisely as I feared. Ugh!
The Sportster CS seats are an amazing option and bolt right up to the factory sliders / rails, but they aren't what I'm going for and they weigh 2X the Pole Positions.
Did I mention I don't like sunroofs?! 🤬
