Best replacement seat?

My leather is awful looking on my seats. Is there any good/cheap seats that have tilt on them. I'm asking because I was thinking maybe I should just use racing seats instead of replacing the leather.

what is "best" ?
lightest ? get some alumium racing seats, they aint gonna be comfy
safest ? get a set of stock seats, they went through more crash test than any ebay cheapo seats combined
light AND safe ? racaro / cobra / bride carbon fiber seats, pay to play

leatherseats.com has replacement leather covers for some of the seats in 2nd gens. I got one of their kits in a group buy last year, and it was very easy to install (if a little time-consuming), and still looks great now.

I dont know what the seats were like when brand new since when I bought the car it was already 15 yrs old, but they feel great, look just as good as pictures, if not better, and are holding up well to me and my dog. A lot of it does depend on how well the covers are installed though. I dont have a pic on this computer tho
