Which Lightweight Seats Should I Get? So I'm starting to lighten up my Camaro & will be getting seats soon. My car is my DD & I go on long drives quite a bit... But don't mind if something isn't as comfortable as the stock leather seats. I already have my rear seats removed & right now it weighs 3340 1/2 tanks without me in it. Was wondering what seats you guys would suggest that be light & at least somewhat comfortable? Thanks

I LOVE these (in the solid suede): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...item53db93c57c
But I think I might end up getting these instead since there half the price: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Does the car have a cage?? If not, I would be worried about not bending the seat as it has nothing to attatch to from behind. Kirkey though makes a killer seat, you would be hard pressed to find better.
Kirkey seats are uncomfortable pure crap imo. I had one, and never even installed it cause it was so uncomfortable. That is NOT something you want for a DD...

Is it possible to buy an aftermarket seat that will retain the 6-way power adjustment on my driver's side?
Pro Drags FTW!!!! I have them and have driven numerous 200mile trips and have never had a problem. Hell, my GF likes them better than my old Corbeau Forza IIs. Just make sure you get some nice brackets for them. I'm running Racecraft brackets with mine.

Legit thanks.. Do you happen to have any pics of them installed?
Yea, $2,000 really isn't to bad for what they are. I've been dead set on the NRGs, but I found the others the other day and yea, there double the price, but it doesn't get better I don't think. Not for the price. OEM Porsche seats are $5,000+.

Why the pro streets over the road race streets? Just wondering what makes the one better over the other? Road race ones look pretty comfortable? Thanks
Haha for sure. Yea no rush man whenever you can... Speaking of race trim please do share with everything done with your ride!

but are the prostreets lighter then the road race seats? Because the road race looks like they would be more comfortable then the pro streets? But not as light? There is always compromise when trying to ditch weight.
