I would imagine the stock LTZ seats are pigs, probably a good 40lbs

race seats are definitely in my future.

The LTZ seats are sooooo comfy though. I get told that by everyone that sits in them.

I agree they are comfy, but you could always swap them back and forth for track days.

Keith's jeep's bucket seats are the most comfortable I've ever sat in, including my 2000 Cadillac DTS with massagers.

Keep the seats and get the CF rotors? opcorn:

I don't think you will!

CF rotors are $8-10k BTW, I researched.

The LTZ rear seats weigh 47.8 pounds. I'll know how much a front seat weighs in about a week and will post it here.

Anyone willing to way their LS/LT seats for a comparison, that'd be useful info.

I thought that the initial guesstimate of 15-20 lbs was light. A 47 lbs weight loss is worth it. I bet that front passenger seat has some heft to it.

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

I'll try and get a weight of the sedans rear seats next week.

 

[rdss]

I bet it comes in at about the same.

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

I wouldn't doubt it.

A breakdown,
seat bottom = 10.4
smaller seat back = 14.4
wider seat back = 23.0

Total = 47.8 lbs

 

[rdss]

The frame in the back portion seems to be where most of the weight is.

The front LTZ seat weighs 44.2 lbs.

By removing the rear seats (47.8) and the front (44.2) I've shaved a total of 92 lbs off for my trip to the strip.

This puts me at 2,548 lbs.

fun fact, a Sonic looks way cooler with only 1 seat.

How do you know this

OK then

 

[gdideric]

the floor mats have to be worth a couple of pounds, man! What are they still doing there?

and the dash trim, that passenger airbag comes out pretty easy
