Microsuede Forza's in my ride, i love them, i had to go with the wides but they fit me great.
IMHO, i think my seats are more comfy than my girls aunts 04 GT 'vert stockers.
only downside (as stated in earlier posts) is they dont recline, but you cant beat the weight savings...

'bout time someone put a lock-down on you!

PS. I agree with others.... the New Edge OEM seats suck *****! VERY dangerous on a performance ride, one that likes corners anyway. Absolutely NO lateral support of ANY kind and was prior to my current suspension set-up. I have AX'd my ride a couple times having forgotten my seat belt... 'twas not missed in the slightest

I have the Scat ProSports and i love them. I think they are tons better than the stock seats and they are rather light (the lightest reclinable seat Scat has). As for quality i think its great i have only had them in a few months now but so far they are holding up great. Ive had nothing but compliments for them.

There ARE no good seats like OEM, 'cuz OEM sucks *****
All aftermarket race seats of which I know are going to be ligher than the OEM ones. The problem with them is two-fold. The first being that they have zero lateral support so dangerous on even the most modest of corners. The second is how high the seat is relative to the floor. The Recaro's, seen in my Garage pics, are SPECTACULAR in every way. They are lighter, offer wonderful support, the back is adjustable, ligher and about 4" lower than the OEM ones. I had the back legs cut down and are another 1.5" lower for more headroom.
Cannot beat the quality, but the cost was about $1700 for the pair. I was forced to get the Recaro slides as the good-quality alternate ones were not available at the time. Would have been probably $150 less or so.
