Any full-race CF seat would work, as long as you get the brackets/sliders.

Sparco makes some lightweight seats, hell I think all of the big manufacturers makes some sort of lightweight racing seat, its just a matter of what you want to pay.

I have been hearing a lot about Status seats, I know AMS has them in their car. They are nice, light, but very expensive. Each seat come in Fiberglass, kevlar, or carbron fiber shells. Check out their website

what ever seats you buy they should be atleast under 20 pounds, if not it aint worth it.
the seats in the ra are already really light. i would weigh the stocks seats first befor i made my decision.

I don't have lumbar in mine... All I have is the bottom of the seat moves up/down, unless there is a hidden lumbar button...

My driver's seat is 35lbs lighter than it was when I bought the car.









Of course, it's my @ss that lost the weight, not the car.

anybody have an exact number on how much stock seat weighs??? i saw something on speed tv saying every it takes 15 hp to move 100 lbs at the same speed. so removing 100lbs would feel like gaining 15hp.... that is what the show on tv said, not sure how accurate it is... but lets say our stocks weigh 40lbs, and the lightest seats on that site weigh 10lbs , thats 60lbs your car is trimming, so thats 8 or so hp it will feel like your gaining.... right?
