Ive been looking into this as well but all the prices I have seen have been the same, also Ive yet to find someone to supply a purpose made subframe to mount them on and I dont like the idea of a DIY seat frame in a 20k car!

just spoken with cobra

they could/poss do something but need to know the mesurments of the fixing point on the sub from are car ..can you find out/or do you know this ??

[007 VXR]

also does the subframe in a monaro unbolt from the seat ??
being told , if it does then it would be poss to use sub frame we have ,then make an adapter to fit..?

Thats the most sensible solution if no aftermarket ones exist.

Could be worth asking on one of the AUS forums see if anyone has done it?

That monaro VXR painted in Arden blue that the pictures appeared on here before had aftermarket seats in if anyone knows the guy??

What sort of weight saving are you expecting? Only reason I would change the seats would be for weight as the standard ones are fantastic

ones ive been looking at are the ones with carbon fibre to match the rest of my car but , the ones with out carbon start at about 300.00 and weight about the same

[after_shock]

Yeah I thought you would be getting it to match carbon wise

Personally I would go with the cheaper version with a nicer material on the seats at somewhere between the cost as I dont have any carbon the car, but can see the benefits of matching it, although you wont see it sat in the front!

[007 VXR]

some good news ...sub frame does come off the monaro seat

will get some mesurements of fittings and see how we do

Good news sounds an easy solution

i was wrong on the weight of the monaro seats



more like 50kgs each

so could be total weight saving of over 70kgs
