Does anyone know what's the rear seat's weight???

They don't weigh much, AFAIK, 15kg.

15kg if that i'd say, but every little helps.

True...true...but it looses it's everyday usability...like you're driving a 2 seat coupé. :biggrin:

it'll also sound better without the seats as the cabin will amplify the exhaust notes

Yeah they dont weigh alot!! You need to swap the fronts to save alot of weight!

True - 1 Recaro = 30kg, while 1 OEM is 25kg. :@:confused1:

No way - 2 friends of mine have R26 and their rear seats weigh almost as do the ones in the 197.

OEM front seat = 25kg/piece x 2 = 50kg
fixed bucket seat = 7kg/piece x 2 = 14kg

weight saved = 36kg!

OEM front seat = 25kg/piece x 2 = 50kg
fixed bucket seat = 7kg/piece x 2 = 14kg

That's great! With 50kg you'll gain an extra 1-1.5 lengths of the car when street racing. :thumbup1:

Can you post some pics of the new seats, and what's with the back seats - can you pass through the fronts?
