Anyone know what the front seats weigh when compared to Racing seats?

I was curious to see what the front seats weigh on the Maximas.

I was thinking about buying a pair of racing seats to lighten the car up.

Anyone have a page or know what the stock seats & aftermarket seats weigh?

Thanks.

I don't know about the GXE seats but my heated SE seats are over 50lbs each (which I why I take out the passenger side one when I drag)

Well since you have a GXE I believe the seats aren't too heavy as compared to the powered/heated seats. If you haven't already I would look into lighter rims because you'll see a greater difference when you reduce unsprung weight over sprung weight. Just a thought.

Racing seats won't save that much weight. My Corbeau's aren't all that much lighter than stock when you factor in the weight of the brackets and rails.

That all depends what seats you get. My friends Momo Carbon Kevlars ($1250 a piece) with brackets and rails come in at just over 10 lbs each. The seats themselves are 5 lbs.
