It made my day when I saw this thread & the BK mounts on the OE power rails!

My one thought re the BK mounts was, how much lower can I get my racing buckets compared to the OE power seats.
The other with the harness bar.... I was surprised to see that they use stainless steel for the bar.
depending on the seat, your head should be 1.5-3" lower than with the stock seat, in the low position on the mount.

The GTS has an extra wide hole in the seat for the 3 point latch to happily fit through properly. Doesn't seem like any aftermarket seat has that
The Cobra Nogaro plays nicely with a factory 3 point receiver-- far and away the main reason I went with them in my car!

Lots of people use the factory rear middle belt receiver on the e46, on the front seats, to be able to feed it through the lap belt hole on aftermarket seats (as it's not rigid like the factory front receivers). If it clips with the e9X front seatbelts, might make sense to use it there, too. Or maybe the e90/e60 rear middle receiver. That said, that solution does lose the pretensioner functionality of the stock front receiver.
