Buying new BSB2e - with Halo+Universal or Custom fit?

I'm looking at buying BSB2e, and from the website order page it seems the halo mount + universal fit will ship with it in 1-2 business days. Does anyone know if this is actually true, or will they just ship me the universal fit and send over the halo mount later?

Does anyone have any recommendations whether to go with custom fit or the halo + universal? Mostly going to be using it for simracing (<1 hr). Searching the subreddit it looks like nobody has actually received the halo mount yet so not sure if it's worth to get something untested. I was going to get the audio strap as well. The halo+universal is only an extra $60.

Full wets or DOTs (Road 6?) for a 2nd set of wheels

I recently swapped out my power 6s for Q5 on my 400, but I just took a rain check on my trackday since I've heard the Q5 are not fun in the rain. I'm looking into getting a 2nd set of wheels and am wondering if it'd be better to get wet tires or something like Road 6s on them. I'm currently high intermediate pace but want to start racing in the next year or so.

I'm mostly worried about slightly damp conditions if I get the wet tires, since I heard if it's not fully raining it will chew them up.

How important is it to get 1/2 of butt off the seat?

The last 2 trackdays I've been to I've had coaches and riders tell me I need to get my butt off the seat more. But every time I try to scoot my butt over more it doesn't feel stable at all, and causes my upper body to not be able to lean into the turn. Is there a specific purpose of the "1/2 butt off" the seat?

It also seems the more I try to pivot my hips/inner leg into the corner, the more my butt comes up on the seat instead of off it.

I have rearsets on my 400 and I'm playing around with different seat heights to see if it helps. I'm newish to trackdays so I'm still trying to figure this stuff out.
