i think you should fix the car first. The seats are fine so long as you have them adjusted properly. I still dont get this problem from 3 to 4. Are you like a midget or some thing? I can be laying down and still shift from 3 to 4 without a problem...

I don't think that you need new seats, you just need the right driving position. The stock ITR seats are excellent compared to most street car seats, and they ARE bucket seats. If you use your car for daily driving, I wouldn't recommend getting a true racing bucket seat, as most of them are not adjustable. I read your post earlier, and I'm sorry that you mis-shifted, but it probably wouldn't have happened if you had the right seating position. Try this for starters, it's an excellent article:

you should be sitting like this guy and you don't need a racing bucket seat to do it:


Hope your repair goes well

Fixed backs won't collapse... Lets imagine you rolling the car, which is not too unlikely considering you can't even shift properly... Now pictured a fixed bucket... and a two piece reclining one... hmmm
