Ok after some heavy consultation with the Competition Motorsport guys (very helpful BTW). I decided on the following seat and ordered it.

https://competitionmotorsport.com/co...43205359993051

This is bigger in the seating area than the aformentioned COBRA NOGARO seat. While that's not a big deal for me, anyone that is BIGGER than say a 34-35 inch waist would be probably too big for the COBRA seat. Also with the sides being a little taller than the NOGARO seat, no doubt lateral support will be a little better.

I also ordered the side mounts for the seats and I confirmed that they will work with my planted technology seat brackets. This seat is FIA certified and has the submarine hole in the bottom of the seat for a 5 or 6 point harness.

The other thing I confirmed is that it WILL work with stock seatbelt setup even though the sides of the seats are HIGHER than those on the COBRA NOGARO seat.

NOTE: Sparco made a revision to this seat and the NEWER versions have LARGER holes in the top back of the seat where the harness belts go thru. If you order these , make sure that you get the revised seat and it has a different part number apparently than the original design with the smaller holes. For about 600 dollars more you can get a Carbon Fiber version of this seat but since you cant really see the back of the seat anyway when installed, it didnt seem cost justified although it is about 10 pounds lighter.

Once I get the seat, I will give you exact weight and some install pics. For NOW, I have put my STOCK SS seat back in since I BENT the shit out of the BACK of the track seat I had in there.
