I installed the SLP seat kits. They have more significant bolsters and high quality alcantara, which is pretty grippy to keep you in place. Here's my thread:

I would say it depends on what you really want to get out of the seat upgrade. I wanted the two tone color, firmer seats, and the feel of real quality top grain nappa leather. I also wanted to tweak the design a bit to make them sportier. I went to a local interior shop (that has a great rep) and had them redo the seat covers and customize the bottom foam a bit. I ordered the hd seat foam from a vendor here. I am extremely pleased with how they turned out. Of course if you are looking for more side bolster support this isn't the route to take, but I find I fit really well in the seats.
