Stock seat weight

[bradc]

Weighed a stock front seat today - 18kg!
My EVO 6.5 TME Reacro's are about 16kg

Does anyone have some stock Reacro's they feel like unbolting (only 4 bolts) to measure?

Fortunately I am doing my stereo wiring today and have my Recaros out at the moment, I'll weigh them up for you.

Thats even heavier! I was hoping they would be a bit lighter. Thanks heaps for weighing them! I owe you a beer.

looks like if you want to save a whole 8-10kg you'll need to get the TME ones then

If you can look down and see your .... feet (yea thats what I mean) then you aren't fat

But yes you are right, I find it funny when people that weigh over 100kg are talking about using lightweight wheels or seats or whatever

what about the recaro S-VR4 seat?!what does it weigh?

That is what Stephen has, all Super VR-4's and facelifts up to April 2000 had the same red fleck seats. From May 2000 they changed to the grey suede style as seen in a few cars around the place. The seats are the same, just different fabric.
