The Recaro Ideal/Classic C is period correct for these cars and will hold you in place through the corners. They're more or less the same weight as the OEM seats though so if you wanted weight reduction at the same time you'll probably have to search for a carbon bucket seat that 'looks right' in the W124.

A standard race bucket wills save you alot of weight. My Recaro's are heavy!
I have a Schroth 4 point harness for the W124 if you're interested. It attaches over and to the rear seat belt receiver to electrically adjust / tighten.

Sorry I really don't have much in the way of pictures of the seats. I'll have another look tonight and see if I can find some.

Brandon, I purchased them at one of the car shows 5-6 years ago. They are branded as Yonaka Motorsports. I'll send you the website of the imported/retailer when I remember it. They are located in Ottawa. I like the seats. They're Japanese made. Comfortable and they've been holding up well. Makes cornering a lot more fun. The only gripe I have about them is they don't have the quick release latch for getting people in the back seat. Sometimes that's a good thing!

If I was to do it again I would do this style of seat. I had to go with the style I have so my waist would fit comfortably.
This other style of seat I think would look more suited for a w124. I think I have a picture of one in a Evo2 rep.
