I have Memory Fab carbon seats for the Miata.
They are super light (w/o) the Sliders and set me about 2 inches lower.
I bet they will fit in your car, You are welcome to try a test fit later this spring when I pull my car out.
Please note, for most HPDE events you need the same seat and harness setup for both the driver and instructor.
Not many instructors will get into your car in the OEM passenger seat if you have a race seat and harness for the driver only.

Thanks, George. Are they FIA rated? I'm having trouble finding info about them online.
Sparco makes reasonable cost FIA seats. Or better, keep an eye out on the boards for used ones. They come up.
Honestly, look for someone selling the seats and rails as combo. It is pricey to buy all at once, but cheaper in the long run than piecemealing it together.
From experience, I am speaking.

If you are buying aftermarket seats, make sure you take the time (and money) to get a seat that you a comfortable in. I bought the Sprint V seats based on price and really wish I would have bought something a little better. Driving the car with them in it every day sucked. Now that it is mainly a track/fun car I don't mind them at all. Just make sure that you know what you are getting into as it is best to "do it right the first time".
