Honestly, I really believe seats make the car and also for track work, the reduced padding for butt yaw detection and 6pt belt capability, are really important.
I wanted to go as close as possible to what the factory would do. The GTS Euro seats are beautifully-made, very safe, and insanely light (15 lbs). I was driving her around today and the car is balanced (fast, sharp, planted) and the N55 just sounds awesome. Glad I snagged one of these 👍 |

Looks awesome man!
How much weight is saved by removing the rear seats? Do you notice a big difference driving?

So with saving 52 lbs, adding a rear roll bar literally makes it even. A chromolly roll cage (according to studio rsr) weighs about 50 lbs.
The amount of rear stiffness it adds is another story

Plus they look great and are a minimal compromise. They are one of the most enjoyable features of the car. Also not in love with the style of the sportster CS seat |

Very nice setup 👍
How do you like the ohlins, are you at the lowest setting or you still have room to go lower How are these coilover on the street since spring rates are pretty high, do you feel like crashing on every road imperfection, bridge joint etc.... |

Those seats look amazing. Would definitely get them if I could afford them. Very nice build overall.
I see the seats don't have airbags and require coding. Is that to disable airbag check on the seats ? I'm looking on installing some bucket seats and was thinking of using resistors to fool the car into thinking it still has airbags, but if it can be coded out it would be much more OEM-ish.
