What do the stock Recaro's weigh?
 
Can't find that information on this site, so, if anyone knows, cough it up, please. I'm specifically interested in the front driver and passenger fabric ones( since the rear seat weight is on http://www.oursbourn.com/evolution/weights.html ), but if anyone knows the weight of the leather ones, I'm sure someone will appreciate the info, too...

what is the stock recaro weight, with and without base sliders?

plokivos Dec 8, 2004 06:31 PM

the base slider is probably what's heavy. The seat itself shouldn't weight more than 10 pounds.

Leather ones going to weight twice than regular one, I would imagine.

ok that's not true... the stock front seats are hard foam injected with a large plastic hardbacking (the same foam that the backseats are made of. the back bench and seat together are 25 pounds... so the front seats should be at least that much and plus some more weight for the backings and such, but sliders will be the main contributer to weight.

yeh, it's not goiing to be anymore than 10 pounds. Foam and thin plastic isn't going to weigh anything.

Back bench's 25 pounds? The bottom part weighs 5 pounds, so you're telling me the top part weighs 20 pounds?

ah.. maybe I'm wrong, but it shouldn't weigh that more. My prelude seats weigh 25 pounds and they were really heavy, thick foams and everything.

i said the back seat back and bench together are 25 pounds... says multiples places when you search. just quoting... i took mine out once to install harnesses and it did feel like an oddly distributed 25 pounds together.

booo, you suck snoop. I'm gonna go outside and weigh it now.

trinydex Dec 9, 2004 05:11 PM

this is with bases? cuz they seem like they'd be so heavy, even cf seats with their mounting hardware are like... near 30 pounds fully assembled :\.
