looking into getting some recaros or sparco seats. they weigh about 25lbs according to the website. what does the front seat of a usdm itr weigh approximately? roughly the same?

 

probably a few pounds less.

Remember, rails also add ~8-10lbs to that weight. So, you're looking at around 35-40lbs with your setup.

 

I believe US ITR seats weigh in with rails at around 35-40 lbs.

 

the whole interior weighs about 75 lbs i have been told. I would guess the front seats to weigh between 15-20lbs

 

so you think that some recaros or sparcos with rails will weigh approximately the same as the stock fronts with rails?

 

Im going with the evos, plan to order then next week

Yup, it'll be roughly the same weight (if you're thinking reclinable Recaro or Sparco seats). I woudlnt' even sweat the weight difference... unless you are going with bucket seats which should weigh good 10 lbs less than USDM ITR reclinable seats.

 

The stock seats are 30lbs each without rails - probably 35 - 40 lbs with rails.

For reference, Recaro SRDs with Wedge brackets weight about the same.

Sparco Evos are under 15 lbs each; rails with sliders are 10 lbs or so.

Unless you are going with a non reclinable bucket seat, you will not save muchweight over the stock seats.

 

when i mailed out my front two seats it weighed 43lbs each.

 

2 front seats with rails are 76 lbs. that is with box. not too bad.

 

no worried about saving weight, just dont want to gain any weight if you know what i mean
