Do the base non-option OEM seats really weight 50lbs? Can someone confirm this for me?

I was just looking at different seats anyway

only weight 19lbs. That may be something to consider.

I will try and look up the exact number, A friend of mine replaced his stock 996 seats with Kirkey race seats. I think he said his factory seats were close to 60lbs.

Remember.. seat heaters, power motors, adjustable lumbar, bolsters etc are all heavier (and more comfortable likely) than full on race seats that are a lightweight shell with some padding.

When I installed aftermarket heated seats they were carbon fiber but they weighed way less than a pound. Maybe half a pound for each seat.
