Default Racing Seat Discussion: help me decide please

Hey, i drive a 95 prelude vtec, and im looking at some racing seats. right now i only go to the 1/4 race track, but am looking into some autocrossing. Mainly im buying seats, because they look, and seem to be comfortable and supportive while driving hard. But i also want them for their lightness. Im on kind of a tight budget so i probably wont be able to afford some of the higher line of seats, i.e mugen, sparco, bride. But am looking for soemthing that would fit the following criteria.

Lightweight
Prefer a nice soft fabric (suede, alanctra)
Mount in my prelude
Look nice
Be supportive


Few of the seats ive been lookin at are

Tom Motorsports
Fake Srd copies ( anyone know any good ones)


Im not lookin for the Cheasy leather or shitty fabric ones either

thanks

Sparco Ultra, good seat made of fiberglass, pretty comfortable in terms of racing seats with a molded shell IMO

check out the corbeau forza seat. They are a great price and hold you in quite snuggly. I have one and it gets the job done, but i bought it used from a fat guy and its all worn out so its not so comfy. I've sat in a non worn out one though and it feels pretty good.
