If by 4 point you mean a 4 point seatbelt, just be aware that those are illegal at most major HPDE and club racing events.

And yes most of the time aftermarket seats require aftermarket seat brackets.

cheap seats don't meet crash standards. Cheap seat belts are crap.
Since you're poor impress your ladies because you're smart, not with a riced out car.

In the ebay link it says "Application: Fit Most Vehicles! (NEED BRACKET)" so if it is just like those seats then yes expect to need a bracket. Look at the page for the seats you want since you don't seem to want to post them here and see if it says something similar.

I agree with bse, spend that money on something else.

It is my experience that Ladies are generally not impressive with car seats and 4 point seat belts. Women do seem to dig a great pair of shoes though. I would get a nice pair of loafers and save the rest of your cash

Agreed, shopping works well also. I ask my girlfriend if she wants to go on a Sunday drive in my eight, "Ehh." is her response. I say I need to stop by the mall after the cruise, "Okay, I'll go!" is her next response.
