Default Cheap seats?

I got a few questions about racing seats. First off, if I'm going racing seats, where do I find the information I need to remove the hardware that beeps it's *** off at me, since I may be going harnesses. Are the stock seatbelts good enough with a good set of seats if I'm just doing agressive street driving? I want something good on the track, but something that won't require me to do a bunch of tearing and ripping on my car. It needs to stay in essence, a street car.

I've heard from a local race track runner (05+ GT) that his seats were good for almost 5 seconds on the track since he slid around less and was able to focus on driving instead of supporting himself. The reasoning is sound, but is it really this noticable?

What I want:

[ul][*]Compatibility with stock seatbelts.[*]Similar leather to the stock seats.[*]Decent headrest.[*]Compatible with stock mounting hardware (and motors and whatnot) if possible.[/ul]
Any ideas? I checked out the new "e-stitched" sparcos and they seem to fit my needs, but they're just too damn pricey.

I know a guy who has them he like them. I don't know what the deminsions (sp?) are but they look way too wide in the upper back and up portion.

Oh i see, its hard to buy seats off the internet, because you cant test them out to see if they are comfortable and right size. Do you know how to check dimensions for an indiviual?
