Since I have a set of GT350 Seats, and I am looking to lightweight my S550 as much as possible I figure it is about time to compare these components.

I am looking to acquire lightweighted GT350 Components. Some of which might not be cost effective, so having and idea of dollar per lb would likely be very helpful. I figure we can start cataloging some of the weights as more info comes we find out.

The manual Recaro seats in the GT350 are a little over 2lbs lighter than the base cloth Recaros inspite the additional bolstering.

Weights taking where from the driver side which features a manual height adjustment level and mechanism. The passenger side does not, and likely weighs less. I will probably weigh the passenger side base cloth Recaro at some point, and use it to deduce the passenger side weight if I keep the GT350 seats in my car.

that's with all the mounting brackets / hardware, correct?
I figure we can drop 20lbs per side with a decent racing seat (for track use).
That'll just about balance out the add'l weight of a rollbar.

The 4 T50 Torx bolts are not included, nor are the Bolt Vanity covers which snap into the Seat Track Covers.

However that is the Seat, Seat Tracks, Track Covers, and Seat Side Airbag Harness.

As measured the seat is plug and play, aside from the bolts and vanity covers.
