Default Recaro SRD's in RSX question

Ok, here's the deal:

My good friend has a set of Recaro SRD's that I'm thinking of purchasing, but I have a few questions i'm hoping you guys can help with.

1) if you have the SRD's in an RSX, how do they sit? They were in a EK hatch, using JDM CTR rails, and they sat REALLY high. I would like to avoid that. The lower, or closer to stock seat height possible, the better.

2) has anyone purchased rails from Wedge Engineering for this application? How did THOSE sit?

so basically I'm looking for anyone who has Recaro SRD's in an RSX (pictures are cool too), and feedback on how they sit in the car.

Thanks guys.

We know wedge makes great product & are going to order the rails from them
but "I am the friend" that had the seats in the EK civic on Stock ctr rails & they sat like a 4x4
One of the great things about wedge is that they design (low sit rails) to combat this issue in the CTR
long story short----

Is this an issue in the dc5-R or do they sit low enough that the rails should be ordered to DC5-R factory specs??????

I know I'm repetating the question so I guess I'll just sum it up by saying

"BUMP TO YOU JDM DC-5 CATS"

we're on ordering stanby to get some feedback???????????????????

the recaro out of the dc2 won't bolt into the dc5 ( only 3 bolt matches the holes) you need a set of brackets out of a dc5 recaro ( i'm selling a set)

my friend has the usdm srd seat with wedge rail (or rails ordered from 1 of the N/A recaro dealer). i think they have 3 holes you can adjust the seat height. another option is buy the bride seat rails. those sit really low. (could be due to the seat itself too)
