You can buy the "race" style seats and just reuse the base of the stock seats. They unbolt from the stock seat, if the new seats are wider you can weld in a plate that goes across the stock base tracks. That is what I did, I put 99+ Eclipse seats in on the stock bases and had to weld in a square plate from the new seat tracks to the stock base. Waalah. It's better this way so you can still unbolt the seats, and they are more like factory. Height shouldn't be to much of a problem, they might end up 1/2"-1" higher...

Junk yard is probably your best friend. Either that, or a member on here might have one laying around.
