I've seen some people go with Buddy Club seat rails to lower the seat, but I'm not sure they are up to the task of doing wheel to wheel racing safety wise. I know some people have them re-welded to make them stronger, which is an option I'm considering, but I'm wondering if there is a better option out there for something to lower the seat while being strong enough to rely on in wheel to wheel racing.

Thanks!
Nagisa or Bride? (CSG carries both, as well as others).

Do your seats use standard L brackets for mounting?

If you go Buddy Club, re-weld their spot welds to ensure they don't break in a collision, or even long term use.
