Big Sparco competition seat comparison & Accord seat

The two fiberglass seats Evo & Corsa that were used in this comparison are the versions prior to the FIA rule changes.
-Evo 16.5 lbs. / Post FIA rule change: 18.5 lbs.
-Corsa 15.5 lbs. / Post FIA rule change: 22 lbs.

Since the Sprint seats are made from steel tubing, it passed the stress test; therefore, the weight hasn't really changed. 18 lbs.

Another note is that the side mounts that are used with the Evo & Corsa were the steel versions, the lighter aluminum ones hasn't come in yet so it's not included in the weight comparison.
