got em installed finally, here is a few details
I custom made the brackets out of aluminum square tubing in the front and 2 small pieces in the back for weight savings, I'll try to get up some pictures, its too hard to explain how they hold the seat with words, but I can say that the seat feels very solid doesn't move a bit feels way more sturdy than the stock seats.
seats are both non- moveable thus making the backseat useless (I never used it anyways), but you could install the sliders for access and make your own custom brackets or buy them.
total weight savings from both seats = 35 lbs. total. seats weigh 16 lbs and brackets I made were about 2-2.5 lbs per side
(stock seats together w/ brackets weighed 72 lbs total on digital DHL scale)
sliders would add 6-8 lbs total if installed, probably more because you would have to make the brackets differently and that would probably add weight also.
seat itself fits me nicely I am 6'1" 180 lbs, my friend who weighs 230 has a little trouble squeezing in but he can.
you will need to make some custom cushions to put in the seat bottom unless you like sitting in a hole, this is easy though if you can get some foam, black cloth and know how to sew, wont add even half a pound in weight.
pros: very affordable at $219 shipped for the pair
fixed back version feels very solid, comfortable whith cushion
look very cool in the car materials seem like they should last
cut 35 lbs of weight instaling them in a fixed manner (only I drive my car so it doesn't matter if they can move)
cons: you have to make a cushion for the bottom, but not a real big deal
making you own brackets like I did is hard, but it would be with any seat
seat springs squeek a little, I am going to see if I can fix this somehow
overall 8/10
they fit my purposes nicely, they are comfortable, hug you nice, look much better than the stock seats and I managed to save 35 lbs total which is the most important part, a lot of my savings do come from how I made the brackets but I am still pleased
these deffinately are not for everyone, I'm sure there are even lighter and more comfortable seats out there but not for this price.
