As adam said set a budget.. determine if you want recline or full bucket. afterwards if you need to do any heavy competition that requires cage and fia or sfi certification. Certified seats are usually full bucket and $$$$

There are numerous seat manufacturers out there..
some that fit Japanese dude body type and some that fit American dude body type.

if you have trouble sliding around in the stock seat, i suggest finding a better seat belt/harness setup.

http://www.cg-lock.com/index.html

if then that doesnt work, or you just feel like you want to switch it up choose reclining or non-adjustable.

then choose your budget. (dont forget seat rails per side cost around $200).

within that budget you can then decide which brands will fit.

also another thing that i'd like to add to chebosto's post is that if you do ultimately go with a full 4-6pt harness you will most likely either need a cage or a harness bar. and at that point it may become dangerous in case of a rollover. Even a half cage would be better than no cage. There have been many discussions on the harness safety within the boards.. you can search to your hearts content.
