Default Seat search help

I am looking for streetable race style seats for my 99 FRC. Since I have a long commute with long stops in traffic, I want a reclining seat. The only seat I know of is the Corbeau A4. However, the Corbeaus have serious wear issues and I don't want to replace seats every year. Are there ANY seats out there that fit a C5? Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I've heard that removing the factory restraint is A. illegal and B. will result in insurance refusing a claim. If that is true, removing the factory system is not an option.

The A4's are the only a/m reclining seat that will fit, and it's a super tight fit at that. Your best bet is to get a re-built stock set from Caravaggio but those are $$$. I had a set of Sparco Roadsters but went back to stock as I didn't fit in them well. I simply swap out to a full race seat for track days.
