Height Adjustable Racing Seats

Has anyone mounted a racing seat (Recaro, Corbeau, Sparco, Braum) to our seat brackets to retain the height adjustment feature? I know the BMW guys have figured it out but not sure if anyone here has done that?

i am not 100% sure, but these might work because they use the stock seat rails. They also made some videos on youtube you might want to check out.

here’s their website. They also sell seats.

however, and i could be wrong, this might not work.
i looked at my stock seats and the height adjustment is connected to the seat, not the sliders.
