One thing I really wouldn't trust is cheap safety parts such as seats. A lot of people don't consider seats to be a safety part but they are indeed. Think about when you get into a car wreck... do you really want the seat to fail and recline or give out causing some terrible things to happen to the sphere on top of your shoulders?
I wanted STi seats (or any racing seat) for the longest time but I couldn't justify $1250 which is what they went for (the cheapest) when I first got into the Subie scene 6 years ago (old i-club)... I waited 4 years before I found a pair that was $800 and I went for it and I couldn't be anymore satisfied. I now have great seats that feel great with that extra piece of mind. (they also look killer
).
I don't know though, they might be great seats, but for all you know they could be made by some 5 year old in some chinese sweat shop. You think that kid cares if you're safe or not? I bet you he doesn't.
Sorry for the lecture but its something I've always felt strongly about.

Googled the brand, the company is in santa clara, they sell it for $199 also, maybe you can go over there and try it out
