It could be a witch hunt of an exercise... but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Thanks guys. The only thing I had to do with these seats is exchanging enough coin to give me buyers regret! 😶 It's quite a leap above the GRP seats for only 22 lbs weight saving total, so maybe question my sanity some.
Also - while going to dig up the actual weight savings stats I just quoted, I just found this. The bold text below feels like it's new copy on this link, though I may have missed it before (I doubt it):
Two shell options are available to suit all tastes, pockets and weight-saving requirements. Choices range from the standard GRP lightweight option, to the beautiful wet lay Carbon Shell. The Wet Lay Carbon version is not fully made of carbon, and weights 17LBS. The standard GRP version weighs 19LBS. There is a Full Carbon Nogaro available, however the price is significantly higher and it's not available online. No matter what OEM seat you are running, these will save an incredible amount of weight over the factory seats.
https://www.driftworks.com/cobra-nog...port-seat.html
GRP (10.2kg) or ultra lightweight carbon (5.3kg) shell material options
However, if the version I got is this news-to-me 17lbs wet-overlay carbon version and not the ultralight weight 5.3kg/11.7 lbs version... not gonna be happy. I won't get a chance to weigh these for a couple of days (because Christmas!!). The total box weighed in at 40-some lbs so my fear is I spent a LOT more for a 2 lbs weight savings per seat. There was not 20 lbs of packing materials. Also looking at that sticker above, I'm pretty sure that sticker says "GRP" for the construction.Last edited by Casa de Mesa; 12-26-2022, 03:23 PM. Reason: Correction. Mislabelled the 11.7 lbs as "11.7 kg"Build thread: Topaz Blue to Shark Blue

First time using the seat on track last weekend (COTA)— surprised to notice the slightest of movement around the hips but I suppose in part that’s the difference between a full racing seat and something I’d want to drive in every day (also I’m tall at 6’5” but pretty slim at the waist). Needless to say, I love this seat

Same wheels, same tires, same seats (well almost, I’ve got FRP). Great choices
