yeah, its amazing how much heavier my evo2s felt after I added the brackets and mounts. I don't even have sliders. I'm gonna weigh them tomorrow for a comparison.

This is the #1 reason why I got all excited about springing for light seats on my old car and then never got them -- after adding in rails and sliders I discovered I'd shave all of 10 lbs per seat

For a hardcore track car, absolutely, but if the car is primarily a DD, notwithstanding an amazing deal on seats and needed hardware, it generally winds up being a LOT of money for a sore back and marginal weight savings

Let us know what everything seat related weighs -- maybe the difference will be greater than I expect on this car -- if so that would be very good to know for people thinking about doing this.

Please just whatever you do, don't skimp out and buy cheap ebay seats. They for one won't pass tech inspection, and for two are safety equipment.

How much were yours and do you have a picture of them?
