Ive searched alot but cant seem to find an answer...


What is the weight difference between evo 8 seats vs ssl seats?

Mr. Buschur informed me that the evo 8 seats weighed...

"Stock EVO8 front seat 36.9 pounds
Stock EVO8 rear seat, upper part, 14.2 pounds
Stock EVO8 rear seat, lower part, 9 pounds"

but i cant find the weight of ssl ones.


Thanks for your help,


Christian.

anyone?

 

dude your looking at like 4lb extra maybe Idk where the tread is but the mistu dealer weighed all the cars and the ssl was like 40lb extra that was with the roof and sub and speakers. If you didnt know the ssl leather is crappy just get your stocks recovered in leather or what ever you want. The weight difference in material is going to be so little

 

i have the ssl seats and stock 8 seats, just dont have a dam scale.

the weight difference is a good amount. i would say +40 lbs just in the seats, just want confirmation

 

I have to disagree with you there is nothing different about them but the material

 

well the rear of the ssl ones have some metal support( that the stock 8's dont), and from picking them both up back to back the ssl buckets have more weight added to them than just leather.

 

My evo IX seat with bracket and slider was a little over 38 lbs...My NRG carbon fiber seat with bracket (no slider) is around 18 lbs...

 

took a few pictures (cause im bored) to show you some of the differences in the back.

the bucket seats also feels wider on the ssl ones(not sure i they are tho)

 

nice weight save

 

Oh yeah...and the NRG seats are surprisingly comfortable for long trips with the little lumbar pillow...
