Default GT3 seats - cloth vs. leather

I'm interested in replacing my sports seats with the GT3 seats. Any opinions/comments on cloth versus leather seats wrt. durability etc. will be much appreciated. Also, do you sit much lower than the normal sport seats?

Thanks.

I'll have to let someone that has the seats installed speak for the height vs. sport seats but I will comment on the cloth vs. leather. I acquired a cloth seat as from the Euro Clubsport configuration as I don't like the all leather seat for track use. They do look to be more durable though so if I did it again I might have just had the leather cushions re-covered in Alcantara.

Default Weight

Does anyone know the total combined weight savings for both seats by changing to the Euro Spec Seat.

JLJ,

Let me know when is a good time, and I'd love to see them. Tom N. (PFAFF) told me that you bought them in Vancouver. How did the painting of the centre console turn out?

Thanks.
