Exclamation Aftermarket Seats

Okay I need some help. I've tried the search bar and couldn't find adequate info regarding aftermarket seats with all the necessary hardware required. I'm sure most if not all of you know the stock bolstering is nearly non-exsistent. I think instead of searching for OEM buckets, I would rather install aftermarket buckets. I can't find any links or resources that will help me find a proper set up. Does anyone know where I can find the proper hardware? I'm honestly leaning toward recaros (not a AMG OEM) or brides. Any help would be great and if anyone knows where to find a quick release steering wheel that would be great too. Hope to hear from you all.

No they are not power seats, they are for weight reduction on the car. I coded out the SRS light, yes my airbags still work.
