I can put it on tight and then do that...Still plan on getting seats however, better feel but also shed some weight. Info may be wrong but i heard that our seats are 50lbs a piece and the airbags in them are useless, i know... totalled my old fg2. ( 0% fault!!!! )

really hate the feeling of sliding around. It didnt seem too bad before but then i got a ride in a friends rx8 who has recaros and i was glued in the seat. I want a feeling close to that, being able to not fight g's and have all my focus on controlling the car is what i'm looking for.
They protect your torso in a side impact. If you look at the crash test for any vehicle that offers them as an option you will see that they do make a big difference, the chance for injury is much higher without them.
