Default What Racing/Sport Seats do ya'll use?

My poor 924S' drivers seat has seen better days.

Rather than spending money on a cover hide the imperfections I'm considering buying a sport seat that can be used for daily driving as well as something to keep me in place when I autocross.

Some starter questions:
What brands? Recaro, Sparco, Cobra?
What do I look for?
Anywhere in Southern California where I can test sit?
Are there seats that aren't allowed on the track? (Just in case I choose to do a track day? not 944 Spec)

Thanks in advance.

I've got Sparco Pro 2000's, and love them. They're plenty comfortable for long distance driving, but are a bit difficult to get in/out of for daily driving. For track duty, they hold you in great (especially when combined with a 5pt harness).

I wouldn't however reccomend them for anyone with a large frame or who plans on using the stock seat belts. I've got a 33" waist, and they fit 'snug', comfortable, but snug. As for the seat belt... the sides are too high to really use the stock seatbelt properly. It's adequate for street use, but questionable for track duty.
