Wow! 49lbs front seat! I just removed and weighed my front WS6 leather power seat with lumbar.
It weighed right at 49lbs.
What are some good alternatives for seats with brackets?
I looked at Kirkey seats, but has anyone use them and with what seat track?
What are my options?

Just pulled the leather sets from my car and replaced with Kirkey economy drags. I used Race Tech Speed brackets. They fit great and look good. The nice part is 4 bolts per side and I am back to comfortable leather seats.

Thanks Steve,
How does the economy seat fit and feel?
I am looking to do the same a seat for race day only.
Do the Race Tech brackets attach to the stock studs?
I will call Race Tech.

Race tech backets do attach to the stock studs. The seats are OK. I have only a 1.5 hour ride in the car since the swap and that was starting to push the comfort level. I think a little more padding in the back and seat would be nice. I plan to do this soon.

Slickvert, I have a lot of seat options here:

Everything on the list should fit in a C5, so it should fit into your car even better.
You don't have the weights of anything else do you? I'm looking at expanding my list to include F-body's.

JS, could you email me the cost of your brackets? By the way, you have a PM.

No the crotch strap has to be relocated. It is too far forward. But then again I an 6'4" and mounted the seats as far back as possible. The front studs are too far in front of the seat to mount the bracket. I will need to drill 2 holes and relocate the crotch strap bracket.
