Keep in mind, that you can generally find very light seats -- but the rails will weigh a ton, and overall weight savings may or may not end up justifying the price and extra work to install.

yeah, its amazing how much heavier my evo2s felt after I added the brackets and mounts. I don't even have sliders. I'm gonna weigh them tomorrow for a comparison.

This is the #1 reason why I got all excited about springing for light seats on my old car and then never got them -- after adding in rails and sliders I discovered I'd shave all of 10 lbs per seat

For a hardcore track car, absolutely, but if the car is primarily a DD, notwithstanding an amazing deal on seats and needed hardware, it generally winds up being a LOT of money for a sore back and marginal weight savings

Let us know what everything seat related weighs -- maybe the difference will be greater than I expect on this car -- if so that would be very good to know for people thinking about doing this.

Please just whatever you do, don't skimp out and buy cheap ebay seats. They for one won't pass tech inspection, and for two are safety equipment.

How much were yours and do you have a picture of them?

Mike · 11-04-2012, 09:53 PM

799 each, and I don't have a picture at the moment, but I'll take one tomorrow when I do the weight comparison.

Mike · 11-05-2012, 11:53 AM

Stock I weighed at 42.6, Evo2US, with all mounting hardware, 29.4, so 13.2 lbs savings per seat. I could maybe drop 2 more pounds per seat if I went with aluminum side brackets instead of steel.

Jordo! · 11-05-2012, 05:19 PM

^^ so 26-27 lbs total saved -- . What's the ball park cost of all the parts tho'...

Mike · 11-05-2012, 05:30 PM

779 per seat x2
89 per side bracket set x2
99 per base set x 2

349 per set of racetech harnesses x2 plus 100 for import duties
(I had to have orange harnesses, doh!)
Harnesses probably add 2 - 3 lbs over stock seatbelts.

Seats weren't for weight savings in my case, the stock ones moved around way too much and I can't use a HANS device with the stock seats, so it was more of a safety upgrade for me.
