Default GSR vs. DEL SOL seats!!!

Which ones are lighter? And by how much. I already know Del Sol's provide a lot more support since i have sat in both. But does anybody know their specific weights. List any pros/cons to convince me which ones are better and why?

I have both, I dont think there is any major difference in weight... especially when they are both around 30 lbs each.
Thats heavy compared to my Sparco Ultra seats that are 12 lbs each.

The Del Sol seats have a few good things goin' for 'em--->
sit about an inch lower due to the seat bottom design.
fancy racy stripe is oooh la la nicey nice.
support at the shoulders is a plus for anyone carving the corners.
harnesses stay put in the shoulder areas of these seats better than integra seats.
head rest is nice and big and super supportive/cushygood.

hows that?
Del Sol are theh next best thing to racing seats from recaro or sparco and at $350 a pair for Del Sol seats, they are hard to pass up on a budget

Damn now tha ti know i can shave off approx 40 lbs with racing seats i don't really want stock. But if i go with racing seats i will somewhat lose the super sleeper look i got now. damn decisions.

Civic, Sol, and Teg seats weigh 32-33 lbs each. I got my Sol seats for $150 because the seller thought they were lighter than Civic seats.

I just bought some GSR seats with rails for 250. Pretty much mint condition. They are comfy as hell, plus they look great.

i have a pair of red sol seats in my 90 si traded my stock seats for them, i prefer the sol seats over the teg seats any day, i think there more comfortable and they sit a lot lower and they keep you in the seat around corners unlike the teg seats do. they come in leather and in cloth. it was an option from honda to get them in leather. and those seats are even more comfortable, but good luck finding a set ive only seen two sets of them in the dallas area.

good luck to ya

I had Del Sol seats in my Integra. I did like them better for support through the turns but it does sit lower.

I have both S2000 and NSX seats in mine so I don't worry about support anymore. But the Del Sol seats look hella cleaner. Going for 4 Black leather buckets.
