Has anybody tried this?
Should save 20kg ish, get me lower in the car and wouldn't look too 'aftermarket'
Do they fit? Is there an existing subframe that would make it work?
Any help gratefully received.

Not sure about later Lotus Elise seats, but early ones are amongst the most thinly padded (and uncomfortable as a result) ones I've used. My Elise S1 had cloth seats - the leather ones were said to be even less comfortable!

Caution - it's a long thread and the seats are on the very last page!

You're right about the S1 seats - awful.
I was thinking of the S3 probax seats. A better shape and more padding but still very light.
Not seen any at a tempting enough price though.

Had them in an Mx5. Great on track...horrible everywhere else!
