Are these Corbeau CR1's lighter than stock seats? (2000 prelude)

depends how much you are willing to spend...You could prob find used NSX seats that look nicer (imo) and cost the same or less as a set of racng seats....I got mine for 800 a set, I have seen cheaper and more expensive...depends on what you like. But give the NSX seats a try, besides its oem Honda still, sorta

ps shipping can cost $$ mine was 100!

Hey, I've got a set of Sparco Torinos in my 2000 Prelude right now that I'm looking to sell due to my impending layoff at work... These are awesome seats that I will miss very much - very comfortable for long road trips, very supportive all around, and 10x better than the sucky 5th gen stock seats. I've autoXed in these all season and they hold you in place like no other seats I've sat in. I have the Sparco brand mounting brackets and sliders to fit a 5th gen for these seats as well.

pics:

(Note: For some reason the lighting in the in-car pic makes the seats look faded to purple, and in the other pic, the seats look filthy. However, I can assure you that they are spotless and not purple.... )

If anyone is interested in purchasing this set of seats, please PM me or email me at the address in my profile.

Andrew

If you like the idea of the NS seats in your lude you should also look into getting your hands on some s2000 seats...they look and feel great.

Umm, not quite. S2000 seats are harder to get used, and sell for big $ new. Also the NSX seats are slightly more supportive; as evident in the "Sibling rivlry" comparison between s2k and nsx(in car n driver?) the NSX was prasied (yet again) for its incredibly supportive seats that offered both comfort and great amount of support; a similar claim was not made about the S2k in the comparison. IMO the s2k seats are also too plain, but thats my opinion

s2K seats:


Compare them to the nsx seats in my above.
