Final Numbers
Alright they are now both done. The final weights that I got were as follows Stock SVX: driver 68lb, pass. 48lb.
Stock WRX: driver 46lb, pass. 42lb. Total savings= (116-88) 28lb. They are so much more comfortable and I feel a lot better in them (at 6'1'' the stock svx seats were not the best for me).

Some Gain
Well, now you can always say that you sit in the cheap and light seats.

Is it just plain wrong if I know what my glove box door weighs?

I found about 3 dollars worth of coins along with a tube of tokens for some lazer park in PA underneath the seat. In the trunk I found about 60 rounds or assorted calibers, some really weird techno-vibe music CD's, and more coins.

Where 's the steering wheel from? WRX also I guess... Was it hard to fit? What about the airbag, is it functionnal? Plugs are the same?
Regarding the seats: I don't like 'em. They don't look right for the SVX at least for the moment. Maybe with leather on 'em my opinion would change...

Steering wheel is from a 2003 WRX and I did not connect the airbag. As far as the seats go I think that the pictures do not do them justice at all. The flash really exaggerates the blue. In person they look great and they are far more conducive to my height now. I do not know why every one is so high on leather. Is it the status of being able to say, "I have leather."? It is easier to clean, but that is the only thing I like about leather.
We are talking about a Subaru too, folks. If I did this to say a early '90's ferrari then yes it would be wrong. Plus the leather seats in the SVX (even when still in good condition) are only decent at best.

Hmmm, besides WRX seats, does anyone else have opinion/options for seat replacement? My new 92 has very poor condition leather in them and when I sit in it, it feels hard as a rock. With a fubared back, I dont like this
Has anyone ever got the leather redone? It sounds lke a pricey discision, if I was closer to Mexico it would be a cheap option

Now t have done a set of WRX seats I think that when the time comes and the seats in my red car die that I may try to get a set of leather forester XT seats and put those in. May be trickier than the wrx but we will see
