If you're going to be doing this for a car driven daily, I would highly recommend that you get the GT3 seat and install the Brey Krause to lower the seat or buy a very high end aftermarket seat, no cheap stuff. The GT3 seats at least passed some crash testing in Germany (stock seats in the US must adjust/recline to pass, so they didn't come stock) and the Germans are not lax about anything car-related.
Too many of the budget priced aftermarket racing seats were intended for limited use at a track/autocross where the types of accidents you'll see are very different than what you find on the open road. Many of those are made with very low grade metals that will bend like a Pepsi can around and into you in a serious crash. A seat is safety equipment just like your airbags, don't pinch pennies here.
