AutoX/DE Seat Recommendations

I'm looking for seat recommendations. I currently have sports seats and I'm looking for an equivalent that will accommodate a 5 point harness for AutoX and DE. I want to still have the ability to slide and adjust the seat back angle. Suggestions? Please post pictures of suggestions if available.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm preserving the original seats and interior in case I ever want to return the car to factory original.

be sure to check the installed height.... you want to fit with helmet on....
also double check that the hole for the 5th belt is far enough forward to not cause you to sing high notes.... I got a set of Recaros, forget the model just now and they are 1000% better than stock standard seats... they sit lower which is good and are much lighter... no electric motors/etc.
Also plan how you are going to use or change back and forth between street belts (3 point) and 5 or 6 point. The 1989 3.2 cars have the belt inside attach point moving with the seat.. so I had to invent a whole bracket system and it was a huge PITA. I've since taken everything back out.... the combination of the better holding of the Recaros and standard belts do OK but certainly not great..
