Default Corbeau users....anyone weigh the sliders?
As it says, I've found the weights for various Corbeau seats, like the Forza, on this site and Corbeau's site, but I can't find how much the F-body specific Corbeau sliders weigh. Would like to know what the sliders weight by themselves, or even if you just have a combined weight for a Forza and sliders please post it up. Thanks.

Forza and slider together are about 23 lbs.

Really? What was difficult about installing them? Part of the appeal of them to me was that I could get F-body specific sliders for them, so I figured they'd bolt in just as easy as a stock seat. Please let me know what gave you trouble.

I guess the weight thing, while not the best, is still a decent loss to me. My stock passenger seat weighs about 35lbs and my drivers seat weighs about 43lbs. Thats a total of around 78lbs. The Corbeaus would be a loss of more than 30lbs. Not too bad, but I still haven't ruled out getting Kirkeys or something either. I'm still in research mode I guess.

I'm definately open to suggestions.
