Default Stock seat weight

Anyone know what stock leather Camaro seats weigh? My drivers side one is power, the passenger is not. Also, how much do the rear seats weigh? I need to offset the weight of my Wolfe cage. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

If you take off the power slider and passenger manual slider and throw away the recliner mechanism you'll shed tons of weight. I made some custom seat brackets and my seats come in at about 23lbs I think now. If I remember correctly, my stockers were 42/32. I shaved 28lbs in one afternoon and still use the stock seats. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> They're almost as light as a drag seat and look stock.
