what would a set of s5 t2 leather seats weigh around 40lbs since the cloth ones are 35 and it would be slightly heavier would aftermarket seats do any help or is it a waste of money for 15-20 lbs lighter

I would say its worth it to buy racing seats. People take the a/c stuff out (including me) because of weight reduction. Racing seats at 15 to 17lbs x2 will reduce your weight by 30lbs witch is a better weight reduction then a/c. Man I wish I would have gotten racing seats instead of getting my near perfect factory leathers seats.

I didn't change out my seats so much for the weight, but for the lateral support. Sure, I shaved off like 25 lbs., but the biggest gain was being able to throw the car around and not get thrown around inside. I might change out my driver's seat for a Sparco bucket, though, because this Corbeau reclineable doesn't have enough thigh support and my left leg smashes into my door when I autocross...

i was looking at a set of ebay seats.. they weigh in at 28 lbs, but ive heard of fitment problems.. really my only concern is something that looks nicer than my stockies, and its cool that it weighs alittle less.
