i personally suggest TII seats. for atleast the drivers side. they will fit you fine, and hold your *** in place so you can focus on driving the car, instead of holding on.
i bought a TII parts car and swapped the seats. they fit right in, and do alot better of a job holding you than puny NA/convertible seats.
i'm running a JDM mazdaspeed infini iv steering wheel/nrg quick release. don't buy knockoff ebay QW's. they suck. nardi, sparco, and MS wheels are the ****. MS stuff is expensive, and hard to find though, which sucks.

^^ thanks for the info but my car is a turboII so i have those seats and they do the job but im looking for something 1 thats non reclinable cause the back of the seat flexs alittle but that could be because im fat... and 2 i just put in an auto power bolt in roll bar with the harness bar and i would like to put it to use... plus it looks stupid having somewhat of a cage but stock seat and wheel

infini buckets.
I'm constantly browsing ebay for em knowing damn well i dont have the coin to get one.
The nardi deep corn steering wheel is really popular. I'm sure there's a good reason for that.
An ebay quick release should be called an "organ donor" because that's what you'll be doing when that **** breaks. It's not an "if" it breaks. It's a when. I've had two of my friends tell me they broke the qr mechanism but after removing it, it's all good. The castings of ebay hubs themselves doesn't look to great but they do hold up pretty well.
My vote goes to NRG hub and i run an ebay non q/r hub.....

I ended up using the stock rail with an adapter for side mount rails. I also cut the mounting points out of the floor and bolted the rail flat to the floor using backing plates and vynil lock nuts to give me more head room.

if your going for a bottom mount seat i know recaro makes a set of slider that fit in a fc, i used to have a set of them a few years back. the only issue is you will sit high, depending on the seat.

I'm waaay bigger than you, and the Kirkey Roadrace seat (the biggest one) fits me fine. I have mine mounted directly to the floor, but how streetable that seat is, I wouldn't really say.
