What are you talking about? can you be more specific...a rail?? a door jam?? the a-pillar?

the rail that the seat slides back and forth on.

Good thing you explained that, I would never ever have guessed that is what you meant by rails. If that is the biggest problem of the car you have nothing to worry about. That is very minor. you could fix that in minutes with a welder. Are you a big guy? you should have just said seat rails, we assume frame rails, and it caused confusion.

im a 220lb guy, this is the second time the rail broke, (two diff seats and two diff rails), the firs time was with my 186lb brother, is it just a lead foot issue, or is it just cuz its 16 year old metal?

Prbably cause it is old I don't think the lead foot should do it, you are not that heavy. I have heard about the (gangster lean) in these car seats but not the rail problem. Maybe others have, like I said that is minor anyway, the car could have a lot worse problems than that.
