Injected Memory Foam Racing Seats?

A few weeks back I had the chance to sit in a Sparco torino seat with the injected memory foam and ive never been more comfortable in my life. I know that ill have to fabricate custom brackets and everything and i have no problem with that, what im trying to figure out is which seat to get. I don't have $900 to spend on a pair of sparco torinos so ive been trying to find another racing seat that has that memory foam in it (its unbelievable) but i havent been able to find any. Someone said something about a Tenzo Type R seat that might have had it but im not sure?

i'm considering looking into whether a set of Hyundai Tiburon seats will easily fabricate in, they are very comfortable and nicely bolstered.

Torinos are more like $1200/pair brand new so $900/pair is actually a good price if you can find them for that much.

Corbeau A4 is about exactly the same as the Torino. I don't know for sure if it's memory foam, but they are listed as having "high density injection molded foam". At $300 a piece (half the price of the Torinos) they're something to look in to.

Wow, I could never fit in an A4 and be comfortable. I have a set of VX2000s and they're nice, even on a road trip.
