On the topic of weight. Found some Recaros for sale over the weekend! These weren't brand new like the other ones on the forum.
Took out the scale and weighed the Recaros vs 2SS driver seat.
2SS (Power, Leather, Heated) = 57.5 lbs
Recaro (Power, Heated) = 61.5 lbs
The Recaros are heavier! Must be the extra bolstering?
Doesn't matter, the seats are worth it. The seat cushions are firmer, more support on the rear end and the back. Not tight enough to "lock" you into the seat but definitely better than the normal seat. I also feel like the height setting is a bit lower. The firmer cushions and support transmit more information to your body and gives you a better idea of what the tires are doing. Completely awesome.
I'm doing the opposite of racecar and keep on adding weight:
+ 20lbs from the hitch (didn't notice the extra weight this weekend; easy to take off if I go to Nationals)
+ 8lbs from the Recaros
Worth it!
