I’m looking at some double lock sliders with a common bar but don’t want the seat to eat my hand when I pull forward. I know several of you have used several brands and wonder if anyone can tell me if theirs has the adjuster travel with the seat?

As far as I know they all do. Otherwise, once it was forward you couldn't reach the handle. I did have one car come through my shop that had them mounted upside down. did exactly what you describe.

For my '33 Hot Rod, I used these from Summit. I had to modify the cross wire that attaches the tract brackets but that was pretty simple. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G1153

I'm pretty sure if you just flip over the slider (upside down), the handle will travel with seat. Typically, the handle is attached to the bottom of the slider, but if you flip it, it'll be attached to the seat.

I have a pair of the Sparco, double lock sliders. Summit has these for about $80/set although prices have probably changed.
The slides are independent, and the adjustment bar can be changed to accommodate various widths. These are quite low at about .6" thick.

keep in mind if you want to track the car, you'll want dual locking rails, I used this allstar setup (or very similar) from speedline

How much do these kits raise the seat? I am 6 ft tall and am concerned with the top of the windshield frame obstructing my view

About an inch.
