Default Seats for 2010 Z06

I would appreciate any info on Track Seats for my Z06. I have been searching, and not sure exactly what will fit. Stock interior with center con. and shark bar. I need two seats which:
One: will fit in the space I have in the car
Two: will allow for 6 point restraint harness
Three: that I will fit into I have a 38 inch waist.
Have seen several I like, but not sure on the car fit. Cobra, Corbeau, Recaro, and Sparco.
Any of these brands will most likely work, but what models fit the car?

I have three events with in 30 days and can see and sit in what others have done if I cannot resolve the issue before then.

Thanks for any recommendations.

Racetech seats work great I have a 40 inch waist and fit comfortable. I believe they also sell Sabelt seats

I got mine at MTI racing in Marietta Ga

You were able to get a Racetech seat in with stock interior? You didn't have to remove anything?

I have a similar waist size and I have been very happy with the wide version of the Cobra Sazuka.

My waist size is in the 40's and I have this seat as well, very comfortable with good support.

I also have the Sparco Evo 2. I also got the hardbar sliding seat rails which makes switching from race seat to street seat easy.

I put the Sparco slider in as well because my wife & I share the car on track sometimes. I had to pull the 2 bolts that secure the emergency dead-battery-door-opener pull or it prevents the seat from sliding forward enough for the Mrs.

Default Installing Race Seats in a C6

I updated my procedure on how to install two Ultrashield Race Seats in a C6. These are 17 inch seats and will easily fit a person with a 42 inch waist. If your waist is smaller then get a smaller seat. They vary in size from 15 to 18 inches in one inch increments although I think an 18 inch seat may be too wide as mine just fit. Here is a PDF version.

Thanks to all for the very good advice and suggestions. Particular appreciation to Cajun for his help. I have decided on the Marrad Seat Back conversion which satisfies my fit concern. Will post pictures once installed.
