I installed the Corbeau FX1-Pro seats. PIA to install in the correct spatial orientation (height/angle) but it was well worth it.

You are my twin.
I got a great deal on a set of Caravaggio carbon race seats. They look great and are very supportive and comfortable. However since they don't have a center cushion pass through for the crotch belts NASA made me use the standard 3 point OEM belt and sit on my sharkbar/GForce set up
Good luck

At 6'0, 200, 36" you are almost my exact size.
I went with a Sparco Evo2 in my C5 on some custom made mounts to get it as low as possible.
It is a very good fit for me.

66L72, question on your Carravagios...did the 3 point factory seat belt still work alright with the race seats?
In other words, did the right & left lap portions of the lower belt lay flat accross your waist, or did the side of the caravaggios keep them elevated up/off of your waist? I'm 6' 190 lbs & am considering a set, & will most likely just run the stock seat belts.

IMO the carbon race seats are ridiculously overpriced. I got mine in mint condition and my body color for less $2800 with no cores. The comfort, support and workmanship are first rate though. I was quoted $600 to put the crotchbelt pass through hole in the bottom cushion although I image it would be a lot less if he put the holes in during initial construction.
Good luck
