In my new Comp car, I am using an FIA approved seat, with support and cushioning to protect my body in the event of an accident and also allows me the use of a HANS device.
Yes, they are expensive when compared to an aluminum Kirkey, nevertheless, I will never compromise my safety.
The two brands I recommend are Cobra and Racetech.
For the passenger seat, I purchased an Ebay, Chinese made, racing seat that looks identical to my FIA approved seat and it only cost me $75.00.
Below is the Cobra seat I am using and next is the Racetech seat used by many in their drag cars.

While some seats are better than factory what saves you are the properly attached and tightened seat belts. Plenty of studies on this.
