Heavy seats.

[ibizaracebrake]

wasted 10 minutes of my life weighing the front, rear seats and seatbelts today - 83.5 kg
new seats, mountings, harness etc about 28kg, so my car is 55.5 kg lighter - result.

Good grief!!! That is a serious amount of weight actually. Imagine how much quicker off the line it will be minus that weight???!!!!!!

Tell the truth, you knew they were heavy and what was involved. Nah, thatnks for the info, shame these seats are great I think. If you're serious, change them, which by the looks of what you've done already is what you're doing. Hehe.

Funny really, some people are working on improving their cars. But ibizaracebrake is taking that a little far. LOL. If you can do it, why not.
