That little dimension diagram says they weigh in at 27 lbs. Not bad for something that is actually worth sitting on.

You don't want racing seats unless you are actually going to race. IMHO

Have you even sat in some racing seats? There are some shops that have racing seats on display so you can sit in them and find out how comfortable or UNCOMFORTABLE they really are. I would do that before you order anything.

i went to the Summit Racing store in Atlanta, and sat in some of the more plush ones like the Corbeau's that I posted, and i actually liked the way that they sat. They're nothing like the ones the OP was originally posting though. I really wouldn't mind having a set of the corbeau's personally, except for the fact that the stock seats are perfectly fine like they are.

+1, I have set in a few inexpensive reclinable corbeaus and they are pretty supportive for being as lightweight as they are.

I have decided though, right now a C&L cai/shorty headers will be more sensible for me right now. Thanks for all the help and input guys.

Probably a wise decision. You'll get a lot more instant gratification for probably around the same money.
