Default Aftermarket seats for C5Z in GTA

Interested in improving the seating in my C5Z for track use but the car is street driven so no Kirkey types etc.. Would be happy with either fixed back or articulating seat. Open to suggestions.

Also wondering who keeps these in stock so I could put my butt in one.

Have tried the Corbeau A 4 and didn't find it comfortable due to the shoulder curve issues.

I am aware that it is tough to find a narrow enough seat for a C5 but my waist size is 33-34 so I can go to a narrow seat.

They look good but for track use I need something lighter, not leather and cheaper.

The Corbeau's Evolution-X looks awesome. They're a fixed back seat that work well in the C5, especially if you drive on the street. I was considering it myself.

I managed to get a set of Sparcos to fit on the stock rails:

How easy is it to use the stock seat belt with this seat?

The stock belt receptacle is bolted to the original rails, so that part is easy. But actually using them in the car is a pain. I had to get seat belt extensions (free from GM) however, the seat belt extensions are too long. I have to probably buy an aftermarket extension online to extend the receptacle about 3" and then it would be perfect.

It is kind of what I thought. A reticulated seat (reclining type) will be much easier to use with stock 3 point belts, otherwise the lap belt part doesn't really work.
