What rating do they have? I've always used Recaro for track cars as I don't want find out the hard way that the seats were garbage in the event of an incident.
Fwiw... Seats like this are very hard to live with for street duty. They're tough to get in and out of, they can limit visibility, back seat access becomes difficult, and your pockets are completely inaccessible. Comfort is subjective. Around town I hate them but on longer trips they do force you to maintain good posture.

They are not an FIA approved racing seat. They are considered to be a "sport seat". If and when I get serious with tracking the car, I will upgrade to a FIA Recaro or Corbeau seats. For now these work for me just fine and I have none of the problems you mentioned above. The car will be 99% driven on the streets and then sprinkle in whatever PCA DE track days I can get to.
From Corbeau
The FX1 Pro racing seat features composite fiberglass technology. The FX1 Pro racing seat comes in three different sizes, the FX1 Pro, FX1, and FX1 Wide. The FX1 Pro combines comfort, performance, and safety at an absolutely unbeatable price. Designed with an emphasis on comfort, this seat is one of the most comfortable race seats you will ever sit in. One of the unique things about the FX1 Pro is it can be bottom or side mounted. Most shell seats are side mount only, which means you have to side mount the seat and bolt it directly to the floor, eliminating the ability to slide forward and back. With the FX1 Pro you can still bottom mount the seat to Corbeau brackets and sliders, which obviously makes the seat much more practical, especially in a daily driver. High wear patches are strategically placed to protect your seat from abuse in the high wear areas. The FX1 Pro comes with three removable insert cushions, one in the back, one in the base, and one under the thighs. The FX1 Pro racing seat is available in cloth material with leatherette high wear patches or black microsuede with leather high wear patches. As a rule of thumb, the FX1 Pro racing seat will fit up to a 36 inch waist, the FX1 (cloth only) will fit up to a 38 inch waist and the FX1 Wide (black cloth only) will fit up to a 42 inch waist. The part numbers for the FX1 Pro seat are as follows: 29501P: Black Cloth Pro, 29507P: Black/Red Cloth Pro, S29501P: Black Suede Pro, 29501: Black Cloth, 29507: Black/Red Cloth, 29501W: Black Cloth Wide.
