Check out the many racer supply companies on line. There are a lot of seats similar to Recaros for much fewer $. I just looked at seats from a BMW - 325IS I think. Back angle adjusts, and the thigh support adjusts forward and back, nice lateral support, and relatively 'slim' in construction. The hard part in adapting seats to a Sonett is that they cannot have much depth in the lower cushion and mounting construction, or they won't work unless you are very short. There have been some very inexpensive seats on E-bay - probably will pull up with Saab seats. Might be worth talking to an upholsterer - if you can give up some head room - rebuilding the padding in the lower part of the seat and changing the contours along with some shimming of the tracks to change angle might do it.
