I have a similar seat made by 3A Racing.
These are the cons: Not much lighter because of steel frames, no flip forward latch, you must crank the dial 10 times to get them to come forward enough for a passenger to get in the back (I am rear seat delete so it doesnt bother me) You must buy mounting brakets, they only come with the slider, brackets are about $75 each. And last but not least they dont work great with factory seat belts (no guide on the seat like stock) so just go aftermarket 4 point and your all set
Pros: If you buy the brakets for your car it takes 20 min to install these (not counting seat belt time if you are changing those too) They are a good compromise for function and price. (Name brand seats and brakets are $800-$1000 for a comparable style) Mine work great as far as holding the body during aggressive driving. They look cool as hell. I reccomend seats like this for people on a budget. If you really like them you can always upgrade later. If you have money to burn go with Sparco.
