Looking for the "as shipped" weight.
Gracias,

Originally posted by heinzboehmer View PostDon't have the most accurate scale in the world, but average of the weights I got was 18.2 lbs per seat.
I'm in conversations with Driftworks and trying to gather as much info as I can.

Thank you much for doing this, Heinz. So basically no difference between the weight of the seats I received and yours. This was with the bolts or without?

Oh super interesting. So you actually removed the stitching?! Brilliant idea. Do you have closeups you could share?
And yep, stitching is gone. The logo is still noticeable, but it kinda looks like it's embossed now, which I'm fine with. Still need to wrap up the work, but I'll be posting a bunch more pics and info to my journal when I'm done.

Dang, pretty cool ! FYI if you want Cobra will sell you just the pad with no Cobra logo, IIRC around $30 a piece.
When I asked HMS they told me it would be $150 for two (+ wait time for new shipment to come over to the US), so I decided to do it myself instead.Last edited by heinzboehmer; 01-05-2023, 10:47 AM.2002 Topasblau M3 - Coupe - 6MT - Karbonius CSL Airbox - MSS54HP Conversion - Kassel MAP - SSV1 - HJS - PCS Tune - Beisan - MK60 Swap - ZCP Rack - Nogaros - AutoSolutions - 996 Brembos - Slon - CMP - VinceBar - Koni - Eibach - BlueBus - Journal

Is there any reason I couldn't use a factory occupancy sensor mat beyond it not fitting in the cushion?
I would like to use one if possible instead of bypassing it.

As I understand my only other option is an aftermarket plug that would make the passenger airbag deploy with or without a passenger in the event of an impact.2004 Silbergrau Metallic 6MT

But, yes-- the purpose of the occupancy sensor is to lower insurance rates. It does that by not making passenger side airbags go off if no passenger is in the passenger seat in a crash.
... that doesn't seem like overly useful functionality to me after the initial purchase of the car, and the occupancy sensor is failure prone-- so I was happy to be free of it. A future airbag light I won't have. If I end up in a crash where the passenger airbags go off, insurance will still cover replacing them-- they don't know/care if you don't have the sensor.
