Check these 2 websites out. I've dealt with both companies, and they're good guys.
Speedware Motorsports
OG Racing
Seats are a lot like helmets - you need to buy what fits, depending on your body style. Dale rented his car to a guy who had to bring his own seat! Anyway, Bill bought Sparco Pro 2000's. It's proved to be a killer seat. Comfortable, but I'm locked into the car with lots of support in the corners. They're nice and light, and not horribly expensive. |

The important bit is to try out a bunch and find something that suits your needs.
I tried out a Momo seat from Armadillo Racing that fit me like a glove.
Made a big difference in my racing as I didn't have to use my left foot to keep me planted in my too-large seat that came with my car.
If it's a dual-purpose car, I'd go with a looser fit, but my snug seat is perfect for my dedicated racer.
