Race Seats

Looking to pick up a pair of race seats for my RX-8. I've got a cage and would be buying 5-pt harnesses to go with the seats. With that said, I need to know if the seats I've not already deemed as acceptable with 5-points have the 5th submarine [crotch] strap.

Other than that, I'm just looking for thoughts on those listed. I'm 190lbs, 34-36" waist, and the Sparco Evo's in the Porsche are pretty tight, especially in the shoulders [built like a bodybuilder]

http://www.corbeau.com/products/fixe...seats/fx1_pro/ $320

http://www.racinglab.com/sparco-seat-tec.html (confirmed that it has the sub hole) $475

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/s...t-p-13090.html $445

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/m...t-p-44859.html (confirmed 5 holes) $341

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/s...t-p-32438.html $328

Thanks in advance!

-Michael

He'll probably need a wide version. Normal version is a very small seat.
