Does anyone have the weight of the non foldable OEM GT2RS/GT3RS bucket seat
including the adjustable under carriage?

I have mine out - and can potentially try to weigh them.

46lbs…Heavier than I thought! This is the passenger side with optional fire extinguisher.

Any possibility to measure it without the fire extinguisher?

sorry already back in the car. It won’t make a big difference as the fire extinguisher contains 2.2lbs plus whatever the bottle weighs…5lbs max.

You were a lot more accurate than I - I had around 48lbs on passenger seat. I weighed that as assumed it was heavier with mount. I would suspect it accounts for no more than you mentioned on the bottle and mount.

38DD and redmonkey; Many thanks for providing the info. That means that it is heavier than the foldable bucket seat. This weighs with airbag, slider mechanism and full leather 37lbs and with full Nomex 33lbs.

The non folding carbon buckets have side airbags as well, it's just more visually integrated than the folding buckets.


*edit* the airbag label debossing is highlighted here:

You are absolutely right! I just checked mine, and sure enough, there’s an airbag label
