Re: Weight of Stock GTS Seats
As a guess(taking them in and out of the car to clean everything
 ), I would say about 50-55lbs, but it's not the weight but the size of the box you will need to put them. I am betting it will be calculated as oversized unless you plan on breaking them down.

A U-Haul wardrobe box is the packaging ticket.

Re: Weight of Stock GTS Seats
I weighed my GTS seat. It was in the 30's. 32-34lbs if I remember correctly. I know I wrote it down somewhere. I'll look later.

Re: Weight of Stock GTS Seats
I've heard from 32-40 lbs.. Doesn't really matter in the shipping cost, they will DIM weight it (dimensional weight) because its an oversize shipment....

Re: Weight of Stock GTS Seats
I have notes that my Gen 1 seats were 33 lbs each and the seat tracks were 5.5 lbs each. I saved 41 lbs by replacing them with fixed position aluminum shell racing seats.

Re: Weight of Stock GTS Seats
Kirkey Road Race with the cheaper covers. Excellent feel - they come in sizes according to the width of your butt. Mine is 15"; wider will have potential interference of the wings with the door and tunnel.
You can see in the picture I did all this to lower the seat to pass the broomstick rule (open car, helmet on, broomstick on windshield and sport bar cannot touch your helmet.) By eliminating all the padding of the OEM seat you lower it 5" at least. I also cut half the tunnel cover because your elbow hits it when sitting that low. To give you and idea of how low I sit, I see my ugly face in the Gen 1 (centered between tach and speedo) message center.
