Rear back seat weight?!?! I was considering taking out my rear seats (leather) any ideas on the expected weight loss?
Also, does anyone have any ideas or pictures of what to do with the empty space back there?
Thanks.

they weigh very little actually. all 3 pieces and belts are approximately 15 lbs. i can find out some time, but it's too darn cold here to be playin aroun outside until next week when it goes back up in to the 30's.

Just weighed mine today without seatbelts and such. 28lbs for the backrest and the two buckets, leather from a 94. This was done on an expensive scale that's fairly accurate.
Check the sticky out for weight reduction. They say 19lbs.

i'll try to dig them out tonight and put them on our scale at work. i'd have a hard time believing that the back ALONE is 28lbs. not calling you a liar, just one of those things that you have to see for yourself when it sounds off by so much.

Verdad Gallardo ok, i didn't see the bucket part. however, i weighed mine at work today since we were slow, and the seat back, buckets, and total belts/brackets/guides, came in at 29 lbs. out of a 98 and up camaro. i don't know if it was 29.01, or 29.99, or anything in between.......but 29.

so it sounds like it would be a good idea to pull the seats when racing....
28 for rear seats...
35 or so for passanger leather....
48 for power leather driver.....
=111 pounds..... -15 for racing seats = 96 pounds lost for race day.

You guys actually have the backseat in the car still? Thats odd 
Another benefit of !backseat, gives up plenty of room for a pair of slicks and front runners, tool box, 5gal race fuel and all the other **** we need!

wow, they don't feel THAT heavy lol.
I guess I am going to have to recheck the weights again, although I don't have a fancy scale like Birdie does.
