Seats...specifically the mounts...

TMS rang me back with some info today, whilst on phone I had a quick chat to JT. His approach is recaro seat, recaro sidemount, BMW mount/sliders, same as what KingM3 is proposing.

I can well see the point of the VAC mounts if you wanted to mount a seat/sidemount straight onto the "floor", but if you want sliders, companies make up seat mounts with sliders that use OEM bolt holes.

For example, Sparco do these for an E46:

you then chuck on a track set (or not) and your sidemounts/seats.

Only downside I know of is that sometimes the seat ends up a bit higher than you'd like.
