oh my bad u already said this. cool i need to start looking into getting some soon.

Man... I've been rethinking the order again... Exhaust or seats first? And which seats?
Seats are a trickier problem than I thought as STX requires your seat be over 25lbs. That pushes most of the fiberglass seats out of the question... I'm thinking about the Bride ERGO II's, but they're pretty damned expensive... thoughts? |
have you decided whether to leave them in all the time or just swap for events?
|
25 lbs!! That's ridiculous. Most racing seats weigh much less than that.
I'd go for exhaust. You'll enjoy it more. You can wait until next season to get some seats. They're expensive so start saving now! ;) |

i think the idea is he wants them for autox and if autox won't let you have them, there's no point, eh?
|
Yeah I know. Strap some weights to them or something :)
|
what do the stock seats weigh?

haha. more than 25lbs then?

Per this thread power/leather weighs 55lbs and cloth weighs 37.5lbs which seems about right.

|

Or you could get a CG Lock and save the money for some lightweight 17" rims. :)
