OK. I'm not as dissatisfied with the OE seats as some others but I'm considering upgrading. I like the looks of Recaro, Corbeau and Sparco but in looking around there's a lot of knock offs of these name brands at considerable less cost. I don't track the car and I would think even the knock offs are as safe as OE's. I'm 5-10 / 175# and I'm assuming a "normal" size seat will fit.

Anybody have experience and photos of alternatives?
