I went with buckets out of a 411. They were free & bolted right in, only had to drill holes for the back of the brackets

Leather seats (non-power) from an early 90's Ford Thunderbird. Found the pair for ten bucks.

Chrysler Daytona Turbo . They are very deep with lots of lateral support along sides and thighs. Holds you behind the wheel when four weeling. Tilt forward and recline. $20 .

I went with nissan 350z seats. They required some modification to get them in (thanks Mklotz) but they are comphy (made the trip from Portland, OR to So Cal). I got them off of ebay for a decent price.

^^^ Can you elaborate on what was needed to put those into your 620 and do you have pictures?

[oregondime]

just find some small flat bar, and some cardboard, make a template, measure where the holes go do a test fit look for clearance issues, start welding

I have pictures of the 350z seats somewhere but I am at my girlfriends and I don't have access to the Hard drive containing them ATM. The modification I was referring to included cutting the rails bending, straightening and welding them back together. A very nice digital level was used, as was my ass for proper placement. Drilled new back holes and put some new hardware in. Oh, on the drivers side, MKlotz came up with a great spacer... its a round thing (sorry mike forgot what it was called). I will try to take pictures when I get back to work on monday.

I used Subby WRX seats cause they are the nicest I could find. Other than RSX or 350Z seats but I wasn't about to pay out the ass for either one of those. I made tabs that bolt to where the seat rails were, placed seats inside with tabs bolted to it still. Tack very carefully, remove seats and weld her up. I'm body-dropped so I had to get rid of the rails just so my head won't touch the roof.

 

 

This pic i a little old. There was one more bracket to build for the pass. seat(that's why it's crooked). The L & R seats were quite different mounting wise.
