Well, I'm really worried now, cause I ordered and paid for them for the TX3! I might have to get lowered rails professionally done...

Hey Marc, you do realise the rails are height adjustable? The bolts at the front just above the mountng points shoulenable you to adjust them, from memory. Or are they already all the way down?

I might have to get some BF FWD Recaro rails from Dan. At least that would give me something to hack up that I won't miss... Still no word on my seats... Gav. |

I ventured all through brisbane this afternoon, followed by a drive to the coast & home again tonight, and can say they are as nice to sit in as the factory items

OK,
The rails have 3 settings on both the front & rear, and all mine are on the lowest I have been feeling like I want to slip out of my seat, so im going to see what taking the front up 1 setting will do tomorrow afternoon...
