Default Racing Seat Recommendation?

I'm looking to swap out my nearly mint condition factory black leather/electric seats for a pair of racing seats in my 2003 IS300. Anybody have any recommendations as to what I should be concerned with as far as buying these or installation issues? Photo's of preferred one's would really help as well. I do know I want black leather but there seems to be all of these bright colored one's that don't interest me at all. I'm really looking for a set the fits snug so when I do occasionally take it out for a spin on a speedway, I feel much more planted in the seat. Many thanks in advance.

If there is any particular racing seat you should be interested in and price is not a factor, then recaros is the way to go.

I love my recaros, comfy and does it's job! OHH and they look nice too!

how small are you? if you are a small guy... i recommend you get bride seats, brides will fit small asian people better haha if not, the recaros and sparcos are good too.
i have had the reclineable recaro speeds before and they held me in good but i changed it recently to recaro pole position buckets because i have a harness bar which means i cant recline anyways and i wanted something to hold me in a lot better and is lighter.
here is a pic of my recaro speeds... i dont have any pics of my pole positions yet...



ill take some new pictures sometime and show you my new setup when i have time
