Or whats the lowest weight you could get? I'm looking for comfort, so plastic seats are out of the question. Just looking to loose alittle more weight.

I just found out today, I can get Sparco Milano 2 - Alcantara for $390 I went in and told him to give me a price on any reclinable sparco seat. Is this a good one?

I have carbon fiber seats that weigh 12 lbs each. This is the seat alone. When you add the brackets and sliders on the weight goes up.
