How much do cupra front seats weigh? - SEAT Cupra.net

*Poverty* · 16-03-2010, 22:48

Anyone have a rough idea about the above.

Looking at gettimg some new seats, was thinking about recaro sportster cs ones but have seen some other really nice non reclining buckets for 300 pounds. Just wondering if its worth it if the cupra ones are heavy!

No idea but i think you'd be better of spending money on unsprung weight like mk2 tt lower control arms, S3 hubs, lightweight alloys, prob a grand for them bits though. That's what I'd be doing if I was keeping the cupra long term.

Not sure if the cupra will be around long term. Lightweight alloys would be a better place to start though you are right.

Yeah lightweight alloys ftw herd alot about the improvment they make compared to the standard ones.

looks like the vag com group buy has fallen through aswell. Once I get refunded I will be wanting to find something else to spend it on!
