Almost any seat can be made to fit, you want LEGAL... thats another story. Ive been told you cant have a fixed back bucket unless your car is a 2 seater (not sure, but i remember reading that somewhere.
Price depends highly on brand, you want Recaro or Sparco... your going to pay out the ass. That being said if a cheaper seat snaps in half during an accident due to cheap construction. how much are your legs worth? $500 for cheaper $1000 for good seats.
Id recomend going to an auto parts shop and ask them what they can show you that would be engineered as legal for your car. You might also want to have a look around the wreckers for some stock seats out of a much better car. a set of top of the range BMW seats or something might be nice, might even be able to get a set heated.

and just so you know...... thats PER seat, not per pair
- i really need to get some proper rails done, *i keep saying that*

Recaros come up for sale on ebay regularly.
You would have to make/ get made adaptor brackets to fit the seats to you car.
keep in mind that to cover yourself legally and insurance wise, you must get the seat installation engineered.
Insurance companies being what they are, if you don't have it engineered and you are unfortunate to have a crash and the insurance company finds out the seats were not engineered. Goodbye insurance cover.
