Should I go for the BWM Performance seats

Hi,
After a couple of track days I have realized that the 1M standard sport seat is not enough for me to stay in place. So I have started to look more and more against upgrading to the BMW performance seats to gain both better side support, save some weight and improve the interior look.
But they are not cheap and the more I read the more confused I get so hopefully you guys can help answer my questions.

1. How much weight will I save?
according to http://www.cooper-bmw-parts.co.uk/br...at_273143.html I will only save 3kg, is that really the case, doesn't really feel like a good weight saving upgrade for that kind of money

2. Does anyone know what the standard seats in the 1M weighs?

3. Can the performance seats be placed lower against the floor then the standard?

4. Can I mount them myself or do I have to let my dealer do the work, reprogram needed?

5. Anyone tried them on a track day, are the side support good enough or should I go for something else?

Br,
///Martin
