Answered your own question, they're just reuplustered Sparcos or recaros depend upon which ones you're talking about though if you want to make it a more affordable conversion

Mine have been done using Sparco Milano seats that have been covered in red and charcoal leather. They are very suprisingly comfortable and, really hold you. You probably know but this mod will eliminate you side airbags.

I am 6' approx 255 pounds and they are a tad tight. The farthest I have drivin in one sitting is probably 300 miles and had no comfort problems. I am also running H-Sport Comp springs which makes the ride very bumpy but, the way the seats hold you it helps keep you from bouncing around. My wife has a R56 with sport seats and she prefers my Sparcos.

Wire resistors into the plug for the airbag. Do a search and you should find a few threads about it.
