Default '84 Racing Seats?

Anybody ever put racing seats in an '84? I'm thinking I'd like to go this route instead of replacing my broken seat track and buying covers for the seats I have. Wondering about fit and comfort. Half the cost here, so I'm entertaining ideas---thanks!

These are what I'm looking at...

Save your money they won't fit, believe me, I know.. I have a pair that I turned into garage chairs.... Corbeau A4's or C5 Corvette are about all I could find that will fit in that narrow area.

Ditto-re-do the existing seats. Mine aren't the greatest but not bad either for 30 years old.

I really appreciate your knowledge. Haven't had the car too long and I figured somebody would rescue me from that question and expense if it was a bad idea. Yours looks real nice.

Thanks a lot
