Light Cheap Seats

I'm trying to add lightness to the Rx-7 and have been looking at seats over the past few days. I don't care about name brand or bling but I do want something that will hold up to autocross. I have found some really cheap and light (9-10 pounds) seats from RCI (http://www.rciracing.com/) has anybody had any experienced with them? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

We have to beat the Miatas

The ones at the bottom of the page might work, I'd also look at the Kirkly seats.

If you are really looking for light weight that will work well for autocross look at a Kart shop for a road racing Kart seat. Fiberglass, shoulder support with or without a cover.

the rci one will hold up, i have them in the race car...although they arent really that comfy. as long as u arn't do 24 hour enduro races, you should be fine..
