Question Racing Seats w/ Heaters?

I'm looking for a sportier driver seat that keeps the driver more stable (and still comfortable). The side seat supports of the sc300 seat don't hold me in the seat very well when racing . Does anyone know of aftermarket SC300/SC400 seats that include a seat heater?

just transfer the seat heating element from your stock seats to the racing seats. AFIK, there is no such thing as heated racing seats.

Heating elements weigh less than a pound.

Question

what I meant was I wanted a more "race" oriented seat that was still "luxury comfortable," yet supports the driver much better than stock sc300 seats...so weight is not a big deal. That recaro one looks great. I hope they make tan color to match the tan leather interior. Does anyone know where I can get the best price on these seats?
