Fine by me, I just want them in my car.
Nothings wrong with my OEM seats (and I mean nothing; not a single tear), it's just that they're heavy, and they look too luxurious, and square, whereas the the Supra/Rx7 seats look sporty, and better suited to match the curves of the SC; in fact, I think they're the seats the SC "should have" come with, but didn't.
Lastly, weight reduction...

Anything to help the SC weight will help anywhere possible...

You should be able to find RX7 seats on the RX7 Club forums.
Everyone with a FD upgrades to the OEM recaro seats eventually.
I sold my set last year for just under $500. They were mint btw.
I would look for the cloth ones as the suede and leather get beat up fairly often.

LOVE RX7 seats. I've had them in 2 other vehicles, but not the SC. They are very comfortable & very supportive & they will sit lower than your stock seats - and yes they weight SIGNIFICANTLY less. One arm to pick up as opposed to the 2 + bend your legs/keep your back straight so you don't get a hernia stock SC seats. You should note that if you are one of our... larger members, then they may not be for you. I'm 6'2' 230 & I fit snug as a bug - which is how I think a sport seat should fit. However my buddy who is 6'1" 280 technically fit in the seat, but was happy to be out of them. Both times that I used them I left the existing rails in place and fabbed a plate that was secured through the floor & welded to the floor for the rear of the rails to be welded to & them heated & massaged the front of the rails to fit the floor rail mount & had them welded in place.
