I went to the Colonels list and it says 34 lbs.

Is that for the power seats or the regular seat?

I am thinking of going to a race seat, but my Z28 has non power seats to begin with. Do you think it will be worth the money? Or will the gains be minimal?

Thanks

I believe that was no power. Mine manual seats weighed around that number if I remember correctly. I've heard that full power leather seats are around 42lbs. My Corbeua Forza's are 14-15lbs each, and then the brackets are another few pounds. If you plan to put the car on a serious diet, I think that they are worth it.

Leather or cloth? My non powerd cloth passenger seat weighs <10 pounds. It's seriously very light.

My TA leather powered lumbar seats are very heavy.
Driver = 50lbs
Pass = 45lbs
Kirkely = 17lbs with my customs brackets

Seiously? Man, I wish I had my car in the garage right now. My passenger seat really didn't feel that heavy. That's more than the rear seat weighs!

I just threw it on the scale again. I lied the first time it's really .2 lighter.

These are the single peice seats. Some 4th gens came with different seats that had adjustable headrests, right? The scale should be right, it's my good nitrous refill scale (reads the same as Fed-Ex).

Dang. Can't argue with that. Man, that is just something else I need to check as soon as I get my hands on my car again. Sometime next week......

The stockers do feel a hell of alot lighter than they are. Next time I pull my passanger side Corbeau and harness I should compare them to the stock seats and belts. Maybe I'll do it when I rip out the dash in acouple of weeks. I've been putting off that prodject way to long, I'm still dreading it.

Thanks GM Muscle.

I have the cloth, they look exactly like yours. Grey cloth.

Again thanks for the exact weights.

Why would the drivers side be heavier?

I am thinking about going with the Sparco's, the Evo's weigh 16 lbs without the brackets but are nice seats. I am just afraid things are going to add up and I will save 6 pounds for like $700.00 bucks.

That would not be worth it in my opinion.

My Corbeau CR1's are the same weight as my stock seats...
That's the ones with the recline and flip-forward features.
Lighter than my driver's side, heavier than my passenger side.
Net result of adding the 2 seats together, was identical total weight.

for 700 bucks get something else seriously

6pounds only = 1rwhp

Actually I think it's more like ten puonds is 1 rwhp, which makes 6 pounds about 0.06 rwhp.

People get seats for more than just weight savings though.

My power leather seats were pigs. Replaced them w/ Kirkey's and made my own brackets from aluminum. Much lighter now.

Yeah, I am still on the fence about this one.

The race seatbelts will work better and fit right through the seats and all, but my main motivation was the weight savings.

I guess I have to do some careful calculations.
