Default Seat weight

I have a 05 GT3 with the electric seats. Does anyone know what the set weighs. I am thinking about replacing the factory (non GT3 type seats) with a lighter set of seats, perhaps Sparco and wanted to estimate how much weight I can save.

My indy shop has the Sparcos in stock.

Thanks for any help.

Around 60lbs each. The euro GT3 seats are very light and look/feel great.

Sorry to hijack but does anybody know what the techquipment rollbar adds? That is what I also put in when I replaced my seats.

IIRC, Rad had posted a HUGE list of weights when he went on his weight savings tear. Hang on a sec, I'll find it...........
