I am going to track it in summer probably. But the main reason I am even considering new seats, is because of my girlfriend. She is 95 pounds and a ballerina and the seats are not supportive enough and she slides around in them. What makes her happy makes me happy, and when she stops complaining I throw her around all the time because of the seats, I can drive even faster now, lol.

I have my little sisters in my car often,50-80 pounds w/o a single issue. Perhaps you should just slow down in your turns.

I would keep your old seats if possible, as when you sell your car, invariably, you'll get a buyer who doesn't like sport/racing seats, and prefers OEM.
