One question: how do you like the slider after some mileage on it? I've heard people complaining that the aftermarket slider getting loose and introduce flex to the seat. Don't know if it's significant

But it's not fun getting out of a car with a fixed steering wheel and no slider!

I used OMP or Sparco sliders, then moved to Recaro sliders. In both cases the seat seemed too loose for comfort.
Moved to BK mounts with OEM sliders and it feels much more solid I agree that sliders are necessary to get into the seats with a regular steering wheel!! |

There are two concerns from me: Would the OEM slider take more height than the aftermarket slider? BK told me the OEM slider will be 2inch taller than the Direct-to-floor mount. Whereas the aftermarket slider usually sits half inch tall. I also want to correct the crooked seating position from the F8x cars. Seems like VAC floor mount will fix that. I don't think you've used the matrix adapter but what's your take on this?

Originally I mounted the seats with a combination of Sparco/Recaro and VAC hardware, then undid it and moved to BK/OEM. I did not notice the difference in height between mounting solutions, but then again I am average height. In terms of the offset seat vs steering wheel present in the E9X and F8X generation, I have somewhat corrected it using the BK mounts with the appropriate offsets but it is still not fully centered. Not sure it would be possible to completely correct unless you use a really narrow seat. The floor mounts I originally used which allows me to position the side mounts wherever I wanted were aluminum and stripped really easily. The BK (and OEM) setup is steel to steel. I know lots of people run these alu floor mounts, but they creeped me out. Enough to switch solutions after having paid ~1k for one car, then I paid again to get rid of the aftermarket seat mounting stuff. |

I can't remember... but I took them out. I'll sell you the ones I used along with the seat belt extenders. They were installed but never actually used. PM if interested.
