    So I weight the front and rear leather seats that came in my A6 avant and compared to the full set seats I got and here are the numbers


    Complete standard leather seats front and rear weighted 178 kg = 392 lbs
    each Front seat weighted 62 kg ~ 136 lbs
    rear seat bench weighted 52 kg ~ 115 lbs

    Complete Sport cloth seats front and rear weighted 87 kg = 191 lbs
    each Front seat weighted 27 kg ~ 60 lbs
    rear seat bench weighted 33 kg ~ 72 lbs



    complete difference of 91kg = 200 lbs

    Had a good laugh at this one..... Btw, I think the weight loss is significant.

    Ps: where was this shipped from again? LOL

    Keep in mind the weight difference is not material, the Euro seats only have powered backrests. Full manual seats weight in at about half of the 1/2 power seats.

    yes..
    actually what is powered is up and down motion and the back support, the entire backrest is manual and the forward and backward motion is manual ..

    what I notice that the backrest must have some sort of metal re-enforce in North American seats (could be related to required safety, example the rear bench the heaviest part was the back rest on North American seat , they were heavier than euro back rest , it is possibly the same in front seats they have more metal reinforcement..
    so far two days of driving and I do like them a lot, I do not slide anymore like I did on previous seats , and I do like the bolster support
