FTO seats weight

[spetz]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know how much a complete FTO seat weighs?
I have Type R black suede seats on Evo rails and they weigh in at 20kg each

Thats masssive!

Yes they are extremely heavy.
I think Bride seats on average are half that.
I had FTO seats before on Lancer rails but never weighed them
They were nice, and looked good, but ultimately lacked the support of the Recaros which are fantastic

Passenger seat inc rails - 17kg

Thanks Shane,
It's a bit heavier than expected with only 3kg per seat difference.

Relatively they're probably not that heavy.

My sparco race seat is 10kg & bride rails 6kg, so only 1kg less than a stock seat.

I'm gonna piss of the bride rails soon though so that'll shave off 5kg

But then your seats will not be adjustable?
Which I assume would mean you'd need to remove rear seats and register it as a 2 seater?

Do you know how much those bride carbon back seats weigh?
I always thought 20kg for the Recaros was a lot but it seems maybe it's only a handful of kg more than "good"

my FTO is not registered, dedicated race car, runs in Production Sportscars.
