Anyone thinking about swaping out 370Z seats?

I know a few have mentioned it. I don't know if doing so compromises the integrity of the car in the event of an accident. However I've heard a few

Default Anyone thinking about swaping out 370Z seats?

I know a few have mentioned it. I don't know if doing so compromises the integrity of the car in the event of an accident. However I've heard a few incidences where people have had a 2 point harness setup and they've been in an accident and walked away. I don't know the technicalities that add up to the level of safety, but it may not be such a bad idea...on the flip side I don't know how practical it is?

I was already thinking about swapping the seats when I used to own the 350. I didn't do that.
I think it's good as the stock seats weight too much. Those of 350 were more or less 35kg each (don't know in pounds) x 2.. 70kg.. too much!
But they were fantastic, you could adjust perfectly the driving position and that's why I didn't swap them.
Let's see those of 370. And then I'll decide what to do.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to be swapping out the seats for some more sporty ones....

I'd definitely have to swap out the seats, especially after having spent the past almost 3 years in my Evo's Recaros.

That's ridiculous! Probably not comfy for a daily driver.
