I would encourage you NOT to buy those seats. Racing seats must pass FIA standards which are the most minimal you can imagine. The majority of seats made by Sparco and Momo are CRAP. And non-big name seats don't even meet those lowly standards. A seat is a piece of safety equipment. Most are made of low grade aluminum that can bend like a soda can. If you have a run in with an SUV driven by a bimbette talking on a cell phone, you want a seat that is going to keep you and your passenger from being ejected from the floor board.

If you would like the racing seat look in a non-raced car either get the GT3 seats (and hold onto your old seats when you sell the car) or look at other models from Recaro and Cobra. Ideally the seat should be made of kevlar, I believe the Suzuka model from Cobra is the lowest kevlar seat. Recaro also makes some nice looking leather models from some Rennlist sponsors. Check the 911 board.

Seats are not an area you should be going with budget options.
