Is this possible? If so what do you recommend? And how would they be fixed? Direct to floor? Or via fixed rail. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

Eggy unless your going for carbon/kevlar seats (very expensive)you will find it very hard to get a seat down to that weight, try Kirkey for an alloy seat they do different styles and padding.Im using motor drive seats in mine they were lighter than the sparco seats I originally had as for fixing the best way is to fit weld in seat rails I would not bolt to the floor unless there was significant strength put in the floor pan plus you wouldn't be able to see over the dash unless you are 10ft tall

I have never fitted any aftermarket seats, although I plan to in the future, but I found these which are weighted at around 5.5kg each and don't break the bank.... whether they are any good is another story.

Cheers guys ill take a lok i think my main issue maybe the rails. Had some brides before .. seats are light but with rails they go up to like 15kg a seat. So i think saving will be from rails this time
