I would like to know how they are too. I've been eyeing a pair but the price seems too good to be true.

I wanted some but ended up with sabelt racer duos. The sabelt is approved, cheaper, the sidemounts bolted to the floor, and I was able to pick them up and avoid shipping.

Keep in mind the sabelt is steel and very narrow.anything over a 34in waist would be snug.

Sounds like I'd need to go on a "racers diet..."

well im thinking of swaping out the seats this winter when i start stage 2 of my diet, they say those seats are only 19.6 lbs so if stock seats are 35lbs each then thats 30lbs total that pluse the back seats 55lbs total and sound proofer and new wheel that should be over 100lbs gone

ac is gone 60lbs front and rear bumpers and shocks are gone 60lbs or more plus spare and jack 70lbs Charcoal canister 7lbs and the cruse control 4lbs are already gone

i still need to find out how much savings is in the new manual rack i am throwing in next week cant wait to be down to one belt (alt only)

does anyone know where you can weigh your car?

Me? None. No rails and no adaptor. The sidemounts are bolted to the factory holes.

the holes in the sabelt side mounts did not line up with the factory holes but there was plenty of material to make your own. at 6'1" with a 34" inseam i am as far back as the sabelt will allow. other seats will undoubtedly be different.
