I have had about 4 different seats in my Cougar over the last few weeks. The Cougar/T-Bird seats went with a much wider track from 89 on up. Since there is a limited amount of space to work with, it may not even be beneficial to modify the seat to fit on your existing track.  I was going to go with SN95 seats but the junkyard was waaaaaay off on price. I only needed a driver's seat so I grabbed a passenger seat from a 87 and it bolted right in. 5 minutes of labor and I was rolling again.

He asked about 99's, you know the "New Edge" cars.  I can measure up the tracks and let you know tomorrow being that I have an '87 and a 2000.

it's not a direct bolt on solution, but Anything can be made to work with a little effort

Sparcos are way overpriced. I would get an off brand racing seat and you will save at least $600.
