[Mk2] [Turbo] Lightweight Seat Options

Post by jannerboy »

Right the front seats need to be either repaired or replaced...but we were thinking maybe its time to get the weight down a little and replace the seats with some lightweight options...

what is currently peoples favourite lightweight seat options that are direct replacements???

cheers, john

I would love a set of the latest Civic Type r seats in mine. Hold you in big time and look the nuts. Wonder how difficult it would be to make them fit...

About 2 weeks ago i was at a local car show and saw a car with FULL carbon fiber seats...they looked =P~ =P~ =P~ and must weigh next to nothing! So you want light...go for Carbon...but you will also end up light in the wallet. Looked awesome though. :D
