Default Replacement seats

Does anyone know of any aftermarket seats that would either bolt in or fit to the stock seat tracks? I had my factory seats re-stuffed and covered and I'm still not thrilled about sitting in them for any long rides.
Any ideas?

Check the Archives here for Fiero. I rather like that mod.

I too have been researching this without much success. I called the guys at Procar by Scat and they mentioned the only seats of theirs that will fit in a C3 are their Pro-90 seats. To me, these don't look as nice as Fiero seats covered with Mr. Mike's. I have found the difficult part is finding the Fiero seats.
Good luck and let me know if you find any other options.
