Looks about right, I'd have guessed 15kg and M3 seat about 25kg

my recaro us about 10 kg

Removed one of mine tuther day, It was about 5-7 kg heavier than my profi spg, both had the sliders attached too.

I did not weigh them, just by lifting them in/out with 1 arm.

Alex I'm pretty sure they're 17 KGS seat unit only but find it hard to believe the runners are a whole 8 kgs on top.

Passenger seat is fractionally heavier owing to the passenger seat sensor buried in the pad.:whistle:

They are heavy buggers compared to the SPA I had in for a while.

Standard M3 drivers seats with hardware weigh 28.5-29.5 KG
M3 CSL seats with hardware weigh 18.098 KG
Mine weigh just over 2.5 KG dry.

Alex is running the Recaro Spa Lightweight seat as am i.
5 kg complete with runners.

I am thinking to put the recaro pole position.
If I am not wrong with runners its 9kg per seat.

A good compromise as the spa seat is considerably more expensive.

I went down the lighter spa seat to offset the additional weight of the cage.
