Seat Weight.

Hi people.
Does anyone know how heavy the standard cloth S2 Avant/ 90quattro front seat is? I'm looking at replacing mine but would only go for something 'non OEM' if there was a significant weight saving over the standard items.

Take one out. IIRC its three bolts and would come in and out in 10 minutes....

I would do but the car is in the garage at the moment having some work done and i'm bidding on some seats that end before i get the car back.... I only posted on the off chance that someone might know?

Sorry, in that case I don't know. Have you tried using the search facility on here. It might come up with something...

Do they LOOK nicer than the standard seats???

Loads nicer!
The ones i'm looking at weigh about 15kg each. Do you reckon that's more or less than a standard seat??

right - had mine out today for trial fitting of my new recaro subframes.

Passenger side - height adjustable - leather - heated - from a 3B coupe
total weight 23Kg.

For comparison, the cloth Recaro (escort RS turbo style) seat I have here weighs 15Kg. But of course that will need a subframe adding on.........

Cheers Alistair. I think based on that info there probably wouldn't be much in it. The one's i'm looking at are bloody nice though!

Cheers
