Jegs seat question

I was bored and looking around online for some better seats with more support but Im extremely cheap(dont want to spend the $$ for C4 or C5 seats), my question is will the jegs seats ( http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/70200/10002/-1 ) fit in my 77? Has anyone used them, any pictures floating around out there?

I have a set of Jegs high back sport seats (very similar) in our 65....Had to rigid mount them - sat too high with seat tracks.....

Just my opinion and I don't want to offend anyone but they look like GO-CART SEATS

Miata/Fiero seats are often used instead of C4/C5 seats. They look great, fit and are much cheaper (apperently).

I use a Summit seat (same as Jegs seat) in my '68 race car.. Mine is mounted solid.. Fits without a problem. I actually cut down the seat to sit lower as it's a pain hitting your head against the roll cage every time.

For cheap you should be able to buy a nice set of custom fit seat covers and not have to worry for a couple of years, nice covers make the seats look new. At that point your piggy bank should be full and viola...C5 seat.
