Default Just got myself a xmas pressie!! Recaro SP-A

wooohooooooo!!
carbon kevlar GOODNESS!

these buckets weigh in at 2.8kg + 5kg for the rails and Momo Base = total weight of 7.8kg

for comparison the stock Recaros with rails and all weigh 19kg, so i bascially save around 11kg









ENJOY!

recaro sp-a and sp-g are the same right?

anyways, if anyone is too lazy... i believe 11KG = about 24 pounds of weight savings?

That looks fantastic!

BTW, what is the difference between SP-A and SP-G?

Wow, those look beautiful.. and the weight savings = ...

but I don't think I would ever be comfortable in a seat that doesn't recline to match my back's ever-changing mood.

let us know how they feel!

recaro's are badass

i believe all seats on planes are made from the recaro company too...my friend was all looking under his seat the last time he was on the plane for the recaro stitching and said everyone thought he was a terrorist fumbling for a bomb or something...he's a dork...
