Have you put aftermarket seats in your car?

Who here has replaced their factory seat(s) with lightweight seats from the aftermarket?

I'm specifically looking at fixed-back composite constructed buckets such as the Sparco EVO and Recaro Pole Position. Both weigh about the same with the Recaros having a ~$300 price premium. These would have the velour black skin. Recaros are more understated without the excessive brand badging that the Sparcos have (more boy racer). The EVOs, however, come in specific sizes that better suit individual driver measurements. For example, their medium/standard size are made for waist sizes up to 34". Whereas the Pole Positions come in a Large, one size fits "all". Anyone over a 38" waist should not apply. Does anyone have any feedback to share such as height, comfort level, ingress/egress etc? Use of sliders or bolted directly to floor?
