I need some recommendations on light weight good quality reclining seats. I'm looking at the Sparco Milano Prestige seats in black. Does any one know what the stock non-sports seats weigh?

Todd,

Whatever you go with, make sure they will fit well in the turbo. I've read somewhere that some seats don't fit and/or you'll need to hack up part of the car to make them fit

Todd, go back and rifle through the last 3 or 4 pages, it seems there were a lot of different discussions on seats lately. Hopefully you can find something helpful.

There is a GB on some GT3 seats around I believe.

Yes, we're running a GT3 rep. seat GB (please check my sig.). But I think he is looking for reclining seats. Below are some choices;

997GT2 are nice if you plan to spend $6K+


Adam's Cobra Misano looks good.

Recaro CS looks good too, but heard is tough put in to 996


Recaro Topline, nice looking and comfy, don't know how much weight save from OEM seats

The 6 way adjustables with heat (what I had) weigh a ton. I think there was a comparison weight put on the thread when I posted pics (not by me), but the Cobra Misanos weigh a good deal less and are reclineable. You should have test sat in them on Sunday!

blackhorse, check out the Sparco Torino 2... you will save at least 15lbs per seat on those, I'm thinking about that seat as well... The Milanos weigh like 10 lbs more per seat than those.

Body weight Stage 3 weight reduction.

Todd if you don't like the word Cobra on the seat, it looks like you could put in some ultra suede in that section.
