Looking forward to seeing some nice bucket seats in the ISF that reduce weight and will not cause any airbag lights to come on!

The seats have nothing to do with that. All you have to do is install a small resistor in the plug and problem solved.

Does this work for the passenger side, including the pressure sensor?

The looks of this seat is better than the pics ,it blended to the black interior of my F. I love the feel of it, It fits well enough to my size. I weight it its about 27lbs including the mounting kits. Its about 30lbs weight diff from the stock. Price including the mounting kit its about $1100.

That seat looks great, how is ingress and egress, especially if this is your daily?

If you daily drive maybe this seat is not for you! It needs a little bit of an effort to get in and out. The slider i put make it easier. My F is not my daily drive.

FWIW you can get the Cusco Brides in FIA approved and not. It's about $100 difference. I'm about the same size as you and mine should be here Friday. Hopefully my seat base will come in as well so I can install.

Just test fitted my new seat and I love it. I will be tackling the airbag resistor tomorrow so hopefully it works. This seat, including the seat base and side mounts weighed in at 26.4 lbs compared to the stock seat which weighed exactly 60 lbs. The Model of this seat is the Bride/Cusco Vios III. These seats are FIA certified and are suitable for the smaller driver. I'm 5'7" 160 and they fit me perfect in the waist and shoulders.

NICE! Looks so good now you need the passenger side . Definitely great weight savings! Where did you get the seat from?

They are very comparable in price actually. These are about $900 and I went with the same Sparco sidemounts that you have and the Planted Technology seat base. I am not running a slider.
