Default What does the stock seat weigh?

I was looking to get some new seats cause mine are doing the ghetto lean. I was looking at some sport style seats and the weight was more than I thought that they stockers were. If anyone has an idea please let me know.

My seats in my 85LX Coupe seem like they only weigh about 20 lbs.

I was going to do that but I also want pleather and black seats, mine are gray. I also really like the look of the sport seats too.


The lean is when the inner side of the seat leans back further than the outside. so you sit with one side further back

mine were doing the same, usually the rear outside seat bracket will break about and inch or two above the floor and the seat will sag.

I always thought the ghetto lean made the ride more comfortable
