Does anyone know the weight difference between the two? I've thought about getting the rear seats for a while now. But i want to conserve weight as much as i can. I'm sure the seats are heavier, i just dont know by how much. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Just a few pounds difference, 10lbs max.

Hey Jeff, since you did the conversion, what are the rear seats covered with, leather or synthetic? Were there any other (material) options available?

I don't know what options were available. Mine were black vinyl.

Thanks for the information though. Thought there might be "matching" options such as cloth for Base cars or the pseudo-suede for the R1/R2s.

Jeff is real close I weighed it and the difference with panels and all was 7lbs. I think that was mostly the difference in the bolts and seat belts. Mine are also a vinyl black textured a bit. You cannot really notice the difference and they wear better than the leather.

That's interesting! FWIW, the listed weight difference for 2-seater vs 4-seater is 10kg (22lbs). That's version II type-r (4-seater) vs version II type type-r 2 (2-seater) - but there are one or two other minor differences (noteably, no rear wiper on the 2-seater).

I once read that the version I 4-seaters (91-aug 93) were real leather, and the following were synthetic. But having checked some out - they look the same as mine (synthetic).

There are no 'matching options', and as far as I can tell, they all look the same - from 91-02. Though, I would assume the red interior cars have red rear seats (I haven't seen one to verify).

I've driven my FD for 2 days now and already used my rear seats 3 times. Granted, most of them were for rides to people, but none the less....

My backpack for school also fits very well in the rear seats.
