Default ready for seats and harnesses

Time to take the plunge. Car is a 2004 z06 with memory seats and telescoping wheel. I'm 6'1" without shoes.
Preferred seats are Cobra Imola, but could deal with Sparco or OMP or another brand if the price is right.
Looking for matching set driver/passenger with 6 point harnesses and all mounting and other hardware, normal seat width.
Prefer this to be relatively plug and play. I don't want to have to be engineering on the fly. Prefer to keep the stock belts in place if possible.
Needs to be compliant with PCA Potomac safety restraints.
Safety Restraints: Safety restraints and factory seat belts must be in good working condition with no visible fraying, fading, or other degradation regardless of age. Only vehicles with an approved seat may use 5,6 or 7 point harnesses. All harness sets must be SFI or FIA certified, and must have at least one dated manufacturer label attached. Harnesses may be used for 5 years. Harnesses must be routed and adjusted per manufacturers' instructions or per PCA Club Racing guidelines/diagrams. Harness guide bars can only be used to guide shoulder straps , not secure them, unless the manufacturer provides written proof. Angle of shoulder harness cannot be more than 30 degrees above nor more than 10 degrees below the horizontal plan of the shoulders, and must follow manufacturer installation specs. Harnesses must be installed with appropriate graded hardware 8.8 metric or grade 5 SAE or better. Clip-in style belts must have pins or safety wire through release mechanism at each eye-bolt.
Vendors let me know.

I have Corbeau racing seats and I could not use the
memory and telescope function. Just set the steering wheel
one time where you want it. I don't know of a electric racing
seat, as far as I know they are all stationary or manuel.
Good luck.

I figured I would lose it, I was just listing that more for instructions for me of things I have to unplug/emulate/work around when I purchase something.
