FYI... The Forza's FIA homologation isn't up to the GCR requirement, so you'd need to run them with a seatback brace if you plan on putting them in your future-ITE car. They are also a little springy, which may be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you're going for... makes you think the car is soft and bouncy in high speed turns, but it improves ride quality on a car with a stiff suspension.

Care to elaborate, pretty please? :)

On which part? The Forza is compliant with FIA standard 8855-1992, but section 18.1.2 of the GCR requires 8855-1999; non compliant seats need to have a seat back brace attached to the roll cage. As for the feel of the seat, it feels like you are sitting on a spring, which you are... Makes the car feel softer than it is. Freaked me out the first time I took it through a high speed turn, but maybe I can get used to it... not sure yet, but it should be a little better with a harness. There are also springs in the seat back, which can be uncomfortable, but it's fine if you add a layer of padding between you and them.

My buddy Ryan has Forzas with 5 points and an 8 point bar in his VR-4, personally I was rather surprised with how comfortable they were. He took it through some twisties, I can't complain about any springiness, but to be honest it was the least of my concerns at the moment :D
I'm confused about which standards they don't meet, i.e. what they're missing so I know what to look for. Corbeau has VERY limited information on their site (though they do list the weight for each seat, which is somewhat of a rarity based on the seat shopping I've done thus far)
