i'm trying to lighten up my car a little but and i already took the spare out, but what about the back seats? i know where you but sits those don't weight anything but what about the peice that your back rests on? thanks

 

i have a 1 pc back rear seat set here in front of me and the bottoms weight 3.5 lbs each and the rear weighs 23.5 lbs.

all together thats 31.5lbs. add seat belts and thats even more. just dont forget to re-install the center buckle bolts, they hold the e-brake cables on.

 

Yah I pulled mine out, they were split, and it was about 20-30pounds all together (estimated)
----------
sorry, the reason I quoted that last one, is I didnt realize the e-brake cable bolts to that, maybe thats why my e-brake doesnt work too well, although it never has since I bought it, but maybe that was the culprit(sp?)

 

how much weight are you planning on saving, any other mods you thinkin of doin to make it lighter?

 

yeah, i never noticed it either until i was under the car, putting in my new driveshaft and i noticed that the brackets that hold the individual cables are held on by the belt bolts

 

So will removing your back seats really add a noticeable performance?

 

Only if you have a lot of fat people sitting in the back as passengers.

 

lol, yah...I like the look w/o backseats, I want an excuse to not let any1 back there in the first place, plus I like the look better and it gives room for a nice place to mount the bottle (if I ever get the money together for one)

 

will these fit in the back seats instead of them?

 

Those get very bad reviews on the aftermarket vendor reviews. Alot of people are unhappy with the quality and the company that sells them. You might want to do a search on those, I'm trying to find it now, but can't seem too

 

I found the SOB, https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/afte...dspecialty.com, check that thread out, it might help you make a decision on them.

 

Thanks so much! Ill check it out

 

i have those delete boxes from speedspecality. they are crap, but can be made to work if you have good upholstry skills. its probably better to make your own.

 

well i took my spair out i havn't taken anything else out im not really having my car as a race car although i have a lot done to it. im just trying to sub for my stereo that i have 2 12s and everything else that goes with it. i don't think its worth taking the back seets out although its nice to not have to give anyone rides.

any other ways i can lighten up my car besides spare and the back seats?
