Default what race seats are you using?

What kidn of race seats are you guys using? How much do they weigh? How uncomfortable are they? I'm not looking for anything for long distance trips, just the short drives to the track. Anyways, how did you make brackets? Thanks

chris

ps- i know the weight of the stock leathers, but anyone know the weight of stock cloth non power seats?

I'm using some ugly plastic POS seat with a thin cover. Picked it up at the local speed shop for about $100 I think. Only weighs 12 lbs and that's why I bought it. <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

I think the stock cloth non power seats are 28-30 pounds each.
Cheers,

My factory non-power passenger cloth (camaro) seat weighed 29 pounds.

Here are the seats I use.

Thanks.

corbeau forza, light, but they get you with the heavy brackets.
