Wotcha gonna be using the car for..., if it's street driving i'd tend towards the most comfortable sporting seat you can find! (a 2nd hand Porsche seat'd be awesome!) if you wanna go racing, then any of the big names would be fine, just make sure they comply with the local regulations.
i dunno what the laws are where you live, but here, a 2dr with back seats has to have reclinable seats

I'm a big fan of Corbeau seats for street and light to moderate race use. We had a set of CR1s in our STS Civic autocrosser, and I really liked them both for race and road use. They held me in nicely under high g loading, and were still super comfortable even on long trips. My only complaint was that the side bolsters were a touch high making ingress/egress a bit tough, but still bearable. I'll probably put a set of these in my MX at some point.
Corbeau doesn't list the MX-3 seat bracket on their site, but I saw the part numbers either elsewhere on this forum or on the mx-3.com aftermarket parts listing.

fwiw, I wanted to replace my '95 seats which were wearing out - both the cover material and the seat padding. Went with a set by Dynamic Auto Design. http://www.speedstash.com/dad_seats.html
To my eye and especially da butt, seem to be great quality, only cost me $399 USD shipped, and sitting in em is so comfortable and supportive feels like yer sitting in a giant gloved hand - amazing. Great side bolster support and the seat platform/pad is a couple inches longer than stock - very comfy. The fabric is also a super-tough breathable weave that wears extremely well. Speedstash lists their wt @38lbs ea but that is incorrect. Each seat weighs 19 lbs, which is 5-10 lbs less than the 94+ stock ones - can't remember exactly the wt dif. and dunno about pre 94 wt. dif. They are full reclining with a finely articulated adjustment mechanism for changing the reclining angle down to very small adjustments. My .02

do you have to buy the track for it or does it fit on the stock seat track? I was looking at seats on http://www.corbeau.com/

Here is a link. The price is reasonable, they come in a variety of colors, and they look pretty good. Considering it will cost me $375 a seat to get recovered, this way you get two new seats plus rails.

i was doing some research on this website about aftermarket seats, and found out you have the same seats i want, i want to get me a set of bomz racing seats, but i was unsure about the brackets, rails and all that stuff, i've never installed aftermarket seats before, i know corksport got osme brackets for mazdaspeedseats, but i cant find anything for bomz racing...
what do you do, can somebody explaian?

i think corbeau seats are some of the most uncomfortable seats ever.. but it all depends on what the person likes and there body type... i wouldent go too cheap on seats because most of the time you compromise price for comfort,,, in a year or so when you could have had a nice recaro for 100 more your going to be kicking your self for not just spending the extra
