Oakley Design are you sure about those seats. You state seats that weigh 2.5 kg. Wow that's 5.5 lbs. Frankly I find it hard to believe, if not just plain dangerous.
I have Sparco DTM CF seats that weigh 7 kg. each and that's without mounting brackets.
BTW who makes these seats? Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've seen Oakley Design does not make any of these products/components.

You right, appologies.
We did a very lightweight carbon seat (no comfort) which was 2.5kgs. The seats I should have quoted are 4.4kgs.
Next week we will have finished a new carbon fibre seat so I will give you accurate weight.
You are also correct that Oakley Design does not physically have an Autoclave etc. We use partners to manufacture, have contracts in place and own all our own moulds and designs.
Pictures and info on the seats to follow.

I know the bolt was down - just wanted to get a quick picture during the install. I can post fully installed pics of the whole set-up if anyone is interested. All I can say is "no" to PASM, and yes to good old fully adjustable set-up. An added bonus is the the four dampers are about 20 lbs lighter than stock.
This is our 4Way system?
Let me know what tyres you are using and we can get some set up information to you...
If they are Hossiers I can't help you but will know a man that can...

I am still wondering about those 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) seats. Lighter than the Porsche CF seats. I'm having a hard time with these weights.
Who makes these seats?
Can you provide better images of the front splitter and rear diffuser you describe?
Thank you
Ranger

I am using Hoosiers in 19 inch. If you know someone that has settings for these tires that would be great. I've tried the pilot sport cups, but don't like the push with the front tires.
Thanks.
Also, I'm interested in the rear spoiler.
