Hey ya Huck. I remember a friend of mine was in the market for seats. He bought a set of Corbeau's, though I can't remember exactly what model, and let me take a seat in them. They were pretty comfy, but I thought they were cut kinda big for sports seats (I'm 6'1", 205lbs built like a mini pro wrestler 
). They were cushy, but they didn't seem like they would hold me all that well. Plus, they were somewhat oversized for my pal's car, a PS13 240SX. I'd pass on the Corbeau's unless you want a throne in the Rex However, I've heard nothing but good things about Sparco's and (duh) Recaro's.
Furthermore, I hear that MoMo seats are only so-so, but I can't confirm that with personal experience. They would match the steering wheel tho Also, Bride makes and excellent seat but their entire line runs somewhat smaller (obviously) and they cost an arm-and-a-leg outside of Japan. Good luck bruddah!

If you want to look into less-expensive seats like Corbeau, then contact my old BMW mechanic, who's a Corbeau dealer:

a couple of weeks ago, i took a ride in a buddy's restored Pantera at an auto-x event. he had Sparcos in it, but i can't remember which model. they didn't recline, but would've been pretty comfy if my head hadn't been wedged into the rollcage at a funny angle. they held pretty well, even though i was in a funny position in the car, due to the aforementioned rollcage.
i was doing some research last night, and subesports.com has a chart for the Cobra seats that gives dimensions at certian areas of the seats. if you were to compare those to the stock dimensions, you'd be able to get a pretty good idea of how the seat might fit. they don't have the same info for sparcos though...

if you come to rallyx this weekend, alan (doorknob) has a set of Momo. I sat in it before. It was pretty good at the shoulder, but I like mine better at the butt/waist/leg section.
