Default Best budget racing seat for 4th generation Camaro?

I need some suggestions on a budget seat for my 99 SS. I installed a roll cage and was set on using a Kirkey aluminum seat but I have decided to get something more friendly for the backside. I do not have the time to fab brackets so I want something that can bolt right in. I have looked at the 2 pack of cipher seats but have not heard much about them. I have also looked at the Scat rave series which is pretty much at the extreme top of my budget. My only requirement of the seat is that it is a gray color to match my light gray interior. It is only a weekend driver so I don't need top of the line safety. Any suggestions appreciated.

I got Corbeaus in mine. They make custom seat mounts for various cars. The main problem I foresee for you is that most of their seats don't come in gray.

Some of those cipher seats look similar to the 6liter seats. Don't know which model you were looking at. I have the 6liter 'race' seats in mine with seat brackets and I do like them 10X better than stock but still wish I had more bolster. Once I put my cage in I'll get a true racing seat. Is your car going to see any street time or just weekend racing?

Btw I don't see them on the 6liter site right now.

I started building it as a drag car,but it was sidelined due to family life. I will try take it to the track occasionally but mostly just street cruising.
The only thing seat related on 6liter site was seat covers as far as I could tell.

You don't have to fab brackets for the Kirkeys, do a search in here for my name, a company makes bolt it brackets for a 4th gen, I have them in my car.

I had Scat/ProCar seats in my 94, Used Corbeau brackets and mounted them.

These were in the 94
