The 8 way power sport seats out of my 1986 911 turbo weighed in at approximately 65 pounds each...swapped to Recaro SPGs and saved approximately 90 pounds.

The non power sport seats are almost 10 pounds lighter than the powered seats.
Converting them to garage/workshop seats on casters and buying light weight aftermarket seats is the best option in my experience! Dan

My 6-way power seats were apparently made of depleted uranium and weighed ~60 lbs. My manual seats in the 83SC were also very heavy at about 50 lbs each.
Replaced with Velo C/F seats weighing 12 lbs each.

50.5 lbf power adjustable driver's side with sliders and seat belt receptacle 39.0 lbf manual adjustable passenger side with sliders and seat belt receptacle

I know I am not helping this query at all, but my power driver's side seat from my 87 Carrera weighed a TON. The passenger non power seat weighed a lot. And, the mid-year factory Sports seats I switched to felt a lot lighter. In fact, they are totally acceptable weight wise for me. The support, quality, and proper look in the cockpit put them over the top. I would not trade for anything!

I remember my 1980 Factory sport seats weighing around 45 lbs each when I replaced them with shells. They are still up in the rafters of my garage waiting for a reinstall.
