I called up JDM Ohio Direct and they said the rails were new and they indeed sit 1.5 inches lower than OEM (which is twice as much as Bride RO). Ordered them and I'll let you guys know how well they work when they get here!
Purplepassiongsr and I will just need a bit more space being over 6 foot
I hope they're the same as the BRIDE RO's, I just purchased a pair from Options Auto...
I was able to find a pair of SRD's after many years searching for a clean set, replacing my sparco/buddy club super low down side rails. I can't see something on sliders being any lower than BRIDE RO's as you can't drop the seat any further than the flat supports.

You tall guys are all amateurs at being tall. With the NSX, I just scoot the seat base all the way forward, lay the back all the way back until arms are locked out straight, and put my left ear to my shoulder. A helmet fits fine!!
I am going to order the Jurans, thanks for the info. I found them for $90/side at Nengun. The shipping is more than the rails, but still cheaper than anything stateside. For the same price as they cost at JDMOhioDirect I will get a bunch of JDM goodies along with my rails.

JDMOhioDirect carries Jurans and original Recaro from what I saw, so I think we're talking about the same ones! Just pointing out they can be found cheap cheap overseas if one is willing to be patient and pay more for shipping then the cost of the item

Just to add some info and post those requested pics since I went through the same process as OP.

These look about as low as one can go and still have sliding rails, etc. The action is nice.
While looking across the driver Recaro (Juran rails) and passenger USDM (stock rails), I'd say the front middle bolster of a USDM seat sits about 1-2" higher than the Recaro.
As for driving comfort at 6'4" - The recaros bolsters don't allow my long legs splay out, so I'd say it's not as comfortable for driving, but I'll get used to it. With the purchase of these seats I have come to realize I use my knees against center garnish and door jams as stabilization during performance driving, but these don't allow that.
