Get on Craigslist and find a used set of WRX/STI or Evo Recaros.
Except those seats don't have a sub strap hole. Try and find a used set of Recaro SRD/Speeds with the sub strap hole.
Take a look at the Auto Control harness also. Great for street use:

what is a sub strap hole and why do I need one?
I hear a lot about the Bimarco Turbo II seats that are available on eBay.
Also, I put in a set of Schroth Rallye 4 harnessbelts in my RallyX car. Very compatible with most existing seats and it carries a FMVSS compliance so my understanding is that it should be fully legal for use on the street. I think I paid $125 total for two used ones shipped from eBay about a year or so ago.
EDIT: The Schroth belts may not work for you. I think it needs a non high-back seat in order to route the shoulder belts.
And the sub is the anti-submarine belt(s), to keep you from going under the harness. In a 5- or 6-point harness you'll have a belt or belts that come up in your general crotchal area in addition to the belts over the shoulders and around the hips.
Would I be okay going with wrx seats? The car is mostly a daily with autox thrown in.
You can get reclinable Corbeau seats with the sub strap hole in them.

I found a set of WRX seats locally for 100$. Looks like that is what I will go with.
Depends how you use the car. Many track organizations like NASA, PCA, etc won't allow a 4 point harness. So you either need to use your stock one, or get a seat with a sub strap hole.
Don't think it matters for auto-x tho...

No problem fitting a sub-strap on that seat...
Well the deal fell through on the WRX seats. Looking at cipher auto now. Any thoughts?
