Seats question

[Z4MCSL]

1. anyone know the weight of the front seats for the clio 182
2. Recommendations for best lightweight replacement?

I read somewhere that they are 25kg each!? seems like a lot but would mean a lot of weight to save quite easily.

I weighed mine at 32-33kg each.

My new seats are 14kg each including all mounts/subframe.

32-33k!

Wow that is great

I think that is an increase of 2.3 hp per seat by the 7kg = 1 hp rule

You can certainly feel it on track especially without a passenger too.

Sorry i'm talking b****cks

They are 22kg each, just checked back through a chat with a mate when i weighed mine.

Ha, there goes the cheap hp I had my hopes on
