That Cipher seat is most likely a major downgrade in terms of safety. There's no FIA certification, or DOT certification. It's not manufactured by any known company, and it looks to be cheaply made.

OMP makes several seats that would be a better option, and they've got a few that are close to that price point. In fact, the OMP Design 2 is cheaper

OMP America

That specific OMP seat isn't FIA certified, but at least it's manufactured by a company with a history in racing and known quality. If you really want to upgrade, I'd suggest looking at fixed-back bucket seats with FIA approval.
