seats with headrest for MK4 clubman / phoenix

can anybody tell me which (affordable) seats, with headrest will fit a MK4 clubman/phoenix? or any other ideas?

the car is planed to be used as a race-car only, so it should be something supporting, as well safe (headrest).

i ask the question cause the cockpit area of those cars is really narrow.

Many, myself included, have used these with some success. http://www.jkcomposites.com/7s-page.html

They are a little snug around the hips for some which is why I have been looking at alternatives recently which are slightly lower cut around the hip area but I am still looking (and in the meantime I will build my car up with JK seats because I already have a new pair )

do you have some measurements for me?

due to our race-rules the seat will be directly bolted to the floor (without runners) and will have at least 15cm gap to the rear bulkhead (as my legs are rather short)...means vice-versa, the seat will be mounted far at front (phoenix gets narrower at front).

do i need extra support for the backrest, as its not in contact / supported from anything?

my favourites are kirkey seats....does a 14" kirkey seat fit??
