Drag Racing Tech - Front seat weight...

Just wondering what the weight of a front NON power, cloth seat is. im looking at putting them in my 88 GTA, to replace the stock seats.

not sure on the non power driver, but this is what my passager was. I bet the non power will be the same as my non power passenger

ive got some good measurements today!

So i thought i would share....

I just bought some seats off a guy to go into my third gen, i bought some 1996 z28 seats, cloth, no power.

My old seats are 84 trans am seats, cloth, no power...here are my finding (some maybe rounded if less than half a pound difference)

1996 z28 Cloth, no power, 4th gen sliders
Driver seat 37 lbs
Passenger 30 lbs

Weight of 4th gen sliders combined
18.5 lbs

1996 z28 Cloth, no power, 3rd gen sliders
Driver seat 24 lbs
Passenger 24 lbs


1984 trans am Cloth, no power, 3rd gen sliders
Driver 34 lbs
Passenger 34 lbs

Third gen sliders combined
12 lbs

That is a weight savings of 19 pounds
