The Seat information reads the same for Stock and Super Stock in the new amended rules for 2013.
I can save about 60 lbs by removing my 45 year old bench seat and replace it with up to date lite weight bucket seats and mounts that are definintely built better and stronger than my bench set up.
If you like the way your old seat looks, aren't concerned about how old they are and are not trying to save some weight don't worry about it.

Exactly RJ, if you like what you have then don't change. But for me, if I should ever have the miss fortune of hitting a wall going a buck twenty five, I want the stability of a properly installed purpose built quality racing seat to support me through that type of g force load . As an added bonus, moving weight around in a race car to better balance it for optimum traction has been a drag racers tool going back to the 50's.
