Buddy Club Bottom Mount Adapter?

cloudofevil · 05-02-2017, 09:17 AM

Anyone use the Buddy Club seat rails along with the bottom mount adapter? I'm 6'5" and need a seat that sits lower and I'd prefer a reclining seat but I'm not sure how to get both. Does having a bottom mount seat automatically negate any headroom gains from getting the low seat rails?

This is probably the best rail available for taller guys. I used them with y status and no problems....I'm 6'3

Is that a specific model of Status seat?

I haven't got that far. I just want something that sits lower, reclines, easy to get in and out of and somewhat comfortable. This is a daily driver. I also want to try and keep the total cost below $1k.

Check out Bride with their brackets...Sits pretty low!

If you go side-mount, i would 100% get the buddy club low profile.

I think I have to go with side mounting to get the seat to sit lower right?

I checked out the Bride seats and those would totally work but they also costs as much as paid for my 2004 Sentra

and it came with seats!

Not true. I had Status with side mount WITH Buddy Club and it sat higher then my Bride right now.

With the Buddy Club rails, you will be sitting higher with a bottom mount than you would be with side mount, and most reclining seats will utilize the bottom mount. The Buddy Clubs seem to sit the lowest among all the other brands of bottom mount rails. You will be sitting near OEM level
