Post Pics of aftermarket seats mounted in your car

Well, its about time I start doing some more weight reduction, and I can think of an easier way than by swapping front seats. Whats the average weight savings?

Also post pics, I'd like something that looks like it could have came factory, and no, I dont want factory Recaro's.

NRG 20lbs each and 10lbs for the bracket. The stock power/heated seats were 61lbs with bracket. Saved 60lbs total. I like them and are very comfortable. No cage or harness at this time. After I installed seats I got a little tired of blowing money.. They are the next items on the list

What did you do about your airbag light?

What did you do about your airbag light?

Not a damn thing yet. I actually havent looked into it much as I have been in it only for a few min since the install. I think you can get a resistor to fix the issue but I havent looked into it yet

Look up the Corbeau install video on youtube. They show you exactly how to intall a resistor.

Which version are these? Reclinable? I couldn't find a weight on the Carbon Fiber ones? I wanna get some seats but light as possible....I am a big dude 6'4 230 so need the wide ones.

These are them.. Not reclineable but the position is adjustable with a bolt so it will tilt a little.

The CF version doesnt offer any weight savings surprisingly. Mine is a medium and im a small guy but I have two 230lb friends that got in it and had no complaints.

Ok cool deal thanks buddy

Hmmm that's contrary to the statement one of their dealers made to me, CF was supposedly 4lbs or so ligher per seat.

4lbs lighter per seat sounds about right for carbon fiber.

Even if you did save the 4lbs its not worth double the price. Just take a gallon of gas out of the tank lol

What brackets did you use? Says they come with sliders?

 

[kdaly]

I didnt get sliders with it. I had to pay extra for them. I called them and they wanted 250 or so and I just checked online while I was waiting on the phone to buy them...

Found these and purchased it. Worked for me... but they aren't sliders. Fixed with multiple positions but you'll have to unbolt them to changed the seating position. Not good for a multiple driver car. Worked for me as Im the only one driving this car.

So how much did you pay for those brackets and the seats? I'm debating on getting some in the next few months.

Don't have a good picture yet after the cage and the new steering wheel was put in, but I have one right after I installed the seat:



Here's one of the cage that got put in with it (before color went on):
