there has been a ton of questions on the seats so hopefully i can answer here:

- as far as the power seat functions...unfortunately yes...with the seats...I lost that.

- some of the features of the seat include:

"Lateral Support :
Lateral side bolsters keep the driver in the optimum seating position at all times which is especially vital when cornering at high speeds. The side bolsters keep your body in an upright driving position helping to fight driver fatigue.

Lumbar Support :
An integrated internal lumbar adjustment system ensures proper ergonomics and ultimate comfort at all times.

Micro Adjust :
The micro-fine recline mechanism can be adjusted to the millimeter to guarantee the perfect seating position. Extensive research and development has been performed by Sparco Master Certified Safety Engineers to insure that the strength and integrity of the Micro Adjust Mechanism exceeds our strict homologation standards.

Dual Density Foam :
Ultra high-density foam surrounds the seat's shell to reduce the amount of vibration transfer into your body. The decrease in vibration transfer helps to battle driver fatigue allowing you to maintain focus and concentrate on driving

Quick Tilt System :
The revolutionary and exclusive QTS (Quick Tilt System) technology allows the backrest to be returned to the upright position or tilted forward for access to the rear seats in a two door vehicle

Carbon-look Fabric :
Carbon-look fabric is used on the lower rear portions to protect against wear.

Thigh Support :
Adjustable thigh support allows you to customize your seat for more comfort than ever."

Also for those who are planning to do aftermarket seats...there will have to be custom seat brackets and another piece for the seat belt tensionser?.
i hope that helps...

aloha,

cody

Hey aloha, did you get a chance to weigh the OEM seats?

I am curious to know how much they weigh.

unfortunately I didnt weigh my sparco milano prestige...I am assuming I can ask sparco if you need the info..

on a good note...my OEM stock seats were downstairs and they were approximately 65 lbs EACH with stock brackets.
