The (GT2) Sports Buckets are pretty broad (broader than the 996 CS seats)
what about Sparco Evo II?

Went to Stable Energies in NJ, they had 25 seats for me to try in the show room. Bob took his time with me to make sure we got the right fit. Cost wasn't really an issue it was all about the fit. Kirkey was it!

It's really difficult to have it both ways but a well prepped RS with a roll bar, ABS, airbags and semi race seats like the GT2 ones are about as close as you can get to a DD/race car.

If my car doesn't have seat belts and steering wheel air bag I don't feel safe on the street and it's also a major PIA to get the harness on and the comfort level is beyond bad.

I had the same set up on my C2S, and transferring over to the GT3 and you are absolutely correct! The GT2 seats are comfy enough for long roads and grippy enough on the track . Very dual purpose seats.

I won't take a car with standard seats to the track, doesn't feel safe.

Came back from Summot Point this weekend and WOW what an improvement these mods made! There is nothing like being able to get the correct line without worrying about sliding around in your seat. While it is more difficult to get in and out of the car the experience in the car is greater than the aggrevation of entry/exit.
