Re: kirkey race seats? Thanks ROBS SS , I used to run those poly seats in my "other" cars and even those were not that bad with some added padding.. But this car is to nice to throw those things in.
How easy to mount them?
I am thinking aluminum floor brackets and a back brace connected to the rollbar..
You have any pics?

Re: kirkey race seats? IMO they are like taking a milk crate and putting a cushion in them. I sat in a few and found the bottom too flat the sides are kind of high... I'd do it if I didn't drive the car alot. 15 lbs vs 30 (cloth seats)

kirkey race seats? Anybody using Kirkey seats? Looking to shed some weight from my very heavy TA seats.
Just wondering how comfortable they are on the street.

Re: kirkey race seats? Weighed my 98 TA seats. 48.5lbs driver and 40.5 pass.
A full 89lbs worth of front seating <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
Well I decided on the Kirkey pro street drag. weighs 11.4lbs. I figure with brackets a pair will come in at 30lbs. Nice 59lbs drop.
It looks a bit more comfy than a milk crate. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Not in red though,lol. You have your pick of vinyl,cloth or velour in many colors.
