Yes, several people have used the MemoryFab seats. Some have had issues with their brackets for their rails though:

I'm using the S58 carbon fiber seats with their brackets and low seat rails, they fit real well with no clearance problems. They even clear my Autopower roll cage.

IM me with your email address and I'll send you some pics.

I'd love to post'em here but every time I try to post pics the size is to big and they won't upload.

Those are the S58. Personally the S68 feels more comfortable. The S58 dont have enough thigh support when compared to my SPG.

can you elaborate? how so since the s58 are narrower than the s68? i would assume the s68 have less thigh support as they are wider giving more room for movement?

I think the thigh support is just fine, I have no issues with the way they feel or the comfort.
But every individual will have a different opinion for every seat out there. It all comes down to body type, weight and height buy the seat that is most comfortable to you.

Unfortunately the FD doesn't have alot of choices.

Yes the seats do look a little different than on the website, I called Memoryfab and asked about that when they arrived and it had something to do with the wear patches on the edge of the shoulder support and i can't remember what it was now.

I'm thin 145 lbs, 5'7" with a 33 waist .

The seat is very comfortable on long drives. I don't daily drive the car but I try to drive it 3 or 4 times a week.

It's a single locking Memoryfab rail btw.
