Based on the package weight I would guess around 31lbs for the 19x9" and 33lbs for the 19x10". I don't think there will be any significant weight savings over the standard Boss rims. Personally I'll be looking for some light weight 18" for track use.

this is one of the reasons why my interest in these rims has wained. The LS info states "lightweight wheels" so I was hoping they would be lighter than the Boss wheels. I wouldn't be surprised if they are slightly heavier. I still like the looks of them but if I buy new wheels they will need to be a few pounds lighter than stock. I've been looking at True Forged two piece wheels, speed five or seven's, but I'm not sure if they are much lighter.

Does anyone have a link to the Boss wheels?

IIRC, the LS wheels are forged, but the FRPP 302S wheels are cast. That would account for the weight difference.

We need someone to weigh the Boss, LS, and S wheels. My money is betting the LS and S wheels are identical other than the color.

Looks like at least one site has the FRPP Recaro seats listed with pricing as 281Motorsports has them for $1,049 (each).

Do we know if the FRPP version has airbags like the Boss seats shown at all the car shows??

M-63660005-MB

We THINK, it does. We don't yet know for sure.

For $1K each, I sure hope these would come with an airbag. But if you look at the picture on 281Motorosports site, you do not see an "airbag" tag. But who knows what version of seat is actually pictured.

If you look at the bottom of the seat back (enlarge it) there is an airbag tag. But at PT has pointed out before that's a photo shopped picture. I can't imagine they won't have airbags but only time will tell. I bet that price is each which makes the upgrade in the Boss a great deal.

Agree it has to have airbags

Pricing is per seat.

Yikes that's almost $1,300 not including the decklid. That's over double what I expected. Hopefully they sell a kit.

I added it up to 1079$. The actual pricing is about 15-20% less once you select your dealer. Is the difference in price the cost of doing the roof?

My bad I was adding in my head. Is there a part for the front quarter?

Looks like they may have prematurely made those seats available as the link is now dead... "No product Found" error

Thankfully I'm okay just sticking with the white for now. I won't have money to change a buncha stuff on it just yet. The wife and I could always cancel the week vacation to Jamaica in June, but there's no fun in that!

Interesting picture of how the LS splitter is attached.

Anyone have luck on the dampers? I'm getting tired of waiting for Koni.
