What are you driving and looking to spend? As I have found out... Seats are NOT cheap!

Wander around the paddock and ask guys if you can try out their seats. Best way to find out what fits you. Alternatively, you can go to a place like HRM in Boston to try out their selection.
Go with a slightly larger seat if the car is dual-duty - your butt will appreciate it.

Take a peek at the Corbeau FX1. Its a newer seat with an excellent price point.
Mine should be arriving tomorrow.

I used a set in my last track car and I was happy with them and no one in tech had an issue. I had to fabricate the seat brackets because I could not find anything that would work.

If you think the price of the seats is bad then wait till you see how much the brackets are if you want it to "Bolt in" the car.
