I believe Kirkey makes a bracket/spacer to fill that 6" void. I prefer the stock seats also,but it is hard to ignore the benefit of moving 40-50 lbs. to the weight box. Especially with a iron headed big block up front. Speaking of weight shifting, all the Camaros that were made to remove the cowl induction hood lost 30 lbs. off their nose.

Wasn't the original idea behind the rules change because the newer seats were "safer"?

Lew:
Does that include the weight of the mounting rails, hardware and covering?
