as mentioned on Japanparts.com
* One-touch reclining mechanism (40-stage adjustment) is equipped.
* Hip point locates almost same position as standard seat.
* Side airbag to be canceled when TRD seat is installed.

Not sure what they mean when they mention the hip point. I am not sure- They do look like they sit at a similar height to stock, and it uses bottom mounts. I myself would prefer a seat that sat lower for better ergonomics(for me) and helmet clearance. The leg bolsters on the seats do look longer with a raised angle and the end which I like. Unknown fitment is the worst part, Japanese seats are usually on the narrow side.

I would try to find out if there is a size chart and if the left and right side seats have the same features.
Also find out if the mounts/sliders are included.
