However I wish I did go with a fixed back im loving my NRG seats in the 86. Once you get your seat position right its always perfect. I did buddy club rails on the passenger side for taller passengers to have adjustment. Fixed mount on drivers side gives me a good excuse to not let my friends drive

For you Braum seats plust buddy club sliders are only going to save 7-10lbs per seat. You have to ask yourself if $1000 is worth 17lbs. I think it is considering you cant save that much with a $1000+ hood or trunk.

Need to think about it. I made a rear seat delete this past weekend, (semi copied yours but put my own spin on it. Ending up putting 8lbs back in plus half pound in each wheel well when my panels where off so 9lbs total, but it’s even quieter now then when stock rear seats where in and still about 25lbs lighter) so finally broke 100lbs weight loss even with some of the added weight I tossed in like underpanels, rear diffuser, etc.

Goal is to not effect DD comforts and try to hit at least -150lbs. Seats + BBK could get me there depending on what ones i got. Not trying to break the bank on these though.

I could possibly get a bucket for passenger and a fixed mount positioned all the way back for maximum room.

Just might look kind of dumb with miss matched seats. If driver side is stock.

My girl who is 5’0” needs to drive my car on occasion so need to be adjustable for both of us I’m 5’9” , maybe a bucket but with a semi taller adjustable mount could work? Or do they have mounts with vertical adjustment?
