I finally recieved my new seats today. Here are a few quick teaser pics I took with my phone, sorry for the poor pic quality. I will be sure to post up a few more once they are installed in the car along with my new 5-point 3 inch SFI Sparco harness system.
These things are light...I honestly could not believe when I picked up the box, for a second I honestly thought the boxes were empty.
....Thanks Brad and Evosport for finding these beauties.

I just thought I would let everyone know I weighed my new Sparco CF DTM seats and mounting hardware and compared it to the stock seats. In a nushell the Sparco seats and brackets weigh in just under 16 pounds each the stock seats, mounting brackets, sliders and wiring harnesses weighed just over 72 pounds each. I cut appoximately 112 pounds from my car with these seats...and, they look trick as all hell on top of it!

2008 CLK BS
Very nice! Is there a way to get the AMG logo added? Probably not since those are probably embroidered prior to final assembly. Regardless ... I look forward to seeing them in the car!

Here are a couple pics of the new seats installed in the car, sorry for the poor pic quality, pics were taken with my phone. You gotta love technology, I'm sitting at a gate at the airport right now typing and posting this from my phone.

Reviving this old thread, but I noticed you said you installed a lightweight Braille battery in you car, I believe the 15lbs version. Just wondering how you mounted it in your car...did you use one of Braille's brackets or custom mount, or just bungee it in?
Also, have you run into any problems with it? Does it still have enough juice to start the car after sitting a week or two?
Thanks!

Luke, I wish it weighed only 3500 pounds, I would say 3650 or closer to 3700 pounds.

How much do your CLK BS seats weigh stock?
I need new seats. My cars a proud pig. "Pulse" seats and all that useless stuff, I want to get rid of that crap. Heard seats on a W211/R230/W220 are upwards of 250lbs each!

Stock seats and mounting brackets are about 72 pounds each if my memory serves my correctly.

Keep in mind I have added stainless brake lines that are probably heavier than stock, the line-lock kit, the larger rear wing and front splitter add yet even more weight over stock.
