Sparco Prodrive seats.
Got them on ebay.
Not sure but they would not suit anyone over a 32" waist.
The side mounts are mounted on to a subframe that i butchered from an old set of seats.
Got them for just over £400 the pair.
Not sure of the weight but they are a dam site lighter than the standard seats.
Probably the best mod i have done to the car.

My Prodrive carbon kevlar seats.
They are made by Recaro (based on the Profi SPA) for Prodrive so you can't really buy them. I was lucky enough to be in the right place, right time and having the cash at hand.
Very narrow and very light.. about 4.5kg each.

Need to get a harness bar and some harnesses now.

Have these in my stripped out STi
They were £300 each + 4 point harnesses at £350 for the two
Not the smallest width wise which suits me as I tried some i couldn't get into!!
These are the pics when I was installing them - great position and comfortable too!

Do they have a function to prevent you listening to your passenger as well? That would be helpful when the missus is in the car 
My bank balance went a little jittery afterwards too
. Appreciate the kind words chaps!

Cobra Misano S Carbon
Available from loads of places
Don't know what size, but they are more snug than standard classic seats.
Mounted on subframe that bolts to original mounts.
£550ea new for the FRP backed ones, not sure how much the Carbon ones are. I got mine second hand.
Not sure on weight, but they are heavier than standard which I'm not too pleased about.
No FIA approval.
They are recliners and they're not a bad seat, I wouldn't get a set new for how much they are, as better seats are around. Sorry for the pics, poor camera on phone.
Matching rear seat:
