I would suggest a seat with this shape to it:



and mount it on the universal sliders that it comes with and buy brackets to mount those to your floor... Factory rails will sit you to high.

DON'T GET THE SEATS FROM SUMMIT!!! They are cheaply made and feel like rubber... You can get the above seat in leather for $379 for the PAIR from the link I am going to PM you...

I think these seats would work just as well in the same setup:



Are only $229 per PAIR from the same place and a board member on here got them and seemed to like them a lot...

Anything with that shape should suit your needs though...
