For those who swapped seats
I am strongly looking at new seats. I've done about as much reading as one
can do. I want to pick up a set of sparco chrono roads and use the b-pillar mounted seat belts. The logistics of mounting the new seat belts doesn't bother me. The car is not a race car, it is a weekend car/ occasionally a daily driver/ weekend racer. I want more lateral support but do not want cheap feeling
I suppose I should preface that I have removed quite a bit of luxury with all the revshift bushings/ kw's/ headers/ exhaust.
My question is : to those who have new seats: do you ever regret it? anything you wish you would have done differently?
Thanks guys, as this is more an opinion/ history type question, searching only goes so far.

I don't know that the seats I used are a good option for 3 point belts, but I changed my seats and I have no regrets other than not keeping the passenger presence sensor before selling my stock seats. (I'm still throwing a PPS code.)
I spent waaay more money than I wanted to on a pair of Racetech 4009s + Schroth 6 point harnesses after hearing the Racetech's were more comfortable than others - they are... (I didn't read good things about Sparcos in particular from enduro-type racers.) The Racetech's are much more comfortable on long trips than the stock seats, in my opinion plus, of course, I don't have to hold on to the console around hairpins any more. They're not adjustable much, so make sure you get them fitted correctly before committing to the welds.
