power tilt, and non heat. about 43lbs for mine.

FYI, sliders weigh 4lbs. the bracket is about another 3-4lbs. and the base is another 3-4lbs.

but you still save weight, but better than that, you are firmly in the seat. you don't use various muscles and your other leg to brace yourself.

i did my first autox today with the new seat, wow! i love it. it was my first time with the new wheels+tires too.

not sure if its a different feel of tire or the seat, but under braking and more so with turning, i swear, i could feel the tires compressing down and the softness of the tire.

i feel more at one with the sar, with this seat. i know what its doing as its doing it. the car was VERY loose in the morning, but i never lost it cause i was in sync with the car. before the seat, when on the edge like that, i'd at least spin out once/event or at least have much bigger time wasting "drifts" much less so today. but this could be different tires too, and them being more predictable, but I like to think its both. : )
