    This thread by EVODAN2008 lists all kinds of weights. I only saw the rear weights listed though..

    Hmm, I was thinking how light they were! That's a light factory seat.

    Considering the stock 1g drivers seat (cloth) weighed in at 50lbs I'd say that's pretty light!

    bump again. i just switched my seats out for the ssl ones.. and they felt alot heavier. Unfortunately i dont have any scales.

    If i had to guess i would say each bucket seat is 7-10 lbs heavier, and the back is 10-15 lbs heavier.(without headrest) the headrest themselfs feel almost 5 lbs a piece
