Question Re: Subaru Diet

My scoobys on a diet so I'm tryin to reduce weight wherever I can and my attentions now focused on the seats.

I've got a ver6 STI and like all scoobys the seats weigh a heck of alot!

Without spending big money on a set of Bride or Carbon Kevlar seats, what other options are there for light weight seats?

Ok even if I did have the cash, which seats are best for weight reduction & comfort?

I cant handle buckets, need a recline action on there!

Light weight recliners?

That will cost a pretty penny.

Bucket seats can be reclined but they are fixed in that position. You could try these though and seach other places to get them cheaper;

The whole time I'm thinkin that seat doesnt look like a Mustang seat... car seats are bigger than that, was it only half the seat or what...

...its a flippin motorbike seat wtf? lol

Interesting vid tho thanks, just under 9mins of my life I'll never get back but thats fine...

Part of my scooby diet is I'm thinkin about perspex windows on the rear 3...

As there's no window frame around the glass, how would perspex windows fit without flexing etc?

Is this even worth considering??
