I'm wanting to put in a set of seats that hold me in place a little better. I've found some nice ones on ebay, but even this one below might not even fit. I think they're too wide overall in the middle and maybe even at the bottom /floor contact area. Any experience with racing bucket installs here for feedback? The image is cut off unless you open it in a new tab, but max height is 34".

Re: Racing seat fit
The OE seat is about 21" wide, so that should not be an issue. The big problem I've seen with aftermarket seats is the height of the bottom cushion/frame. The OE seat is only about 6" from the top of the rail to the top of the thigh cushion. If your aftermarket seat is much taller than that (installed), you won't have clearance between your thighs and the steering wheel.
