You need to sit in the seats. They all fit each of our body's differently. And some think that racing seats aren't comfortable in a daily driver. So you need to sit in them and think about the fact that they aren't adjustable. There are some cushions available to help a little with the fit.

If you will use the car on the street, investigate if your stock seat belts will work with the race seat. Will the shoulder belt rest on your shoulder or will the seat interfere? Can you route the waist belts though the seat holes? A 4 or 5 pt harness is really not practical on the street and may even be more dangerous unless you have a rollbar. A harness really needs to be cinched down tight so it's not a quick buckle up and go proposition.
