A8/S8 recaro seat weights
Finally I found some cheap recaros to play with for my manual seat mod, in the hope of losing some weight.
In case you are interested, I can confirm, front recaros weigh 36kg each, rear seat backrest weighs 25kg, bench weighs 8kg. I will be taking the front seat and possibly rear backrest apart and will post weight of all the components.

Finally got round to dismantling the base of the recaro seat. The base containing all the forward/backward up/down motors weighs around 9kg.
One option may be to replace it with a manual adjust base, although I suspect this may only save around 4-5kg of weight (if it even fits). Another idea I had was to find out if the recaro foam cushions and leather will fit onto a completely manual seat frame. A third option could be to go for Audi TT manual recaros, on the web it says they weigh 22kg each, thats a saving of 28kg for 2 seats and they look close to stock. The next task is finding out how much the adjustable lumbar support weighs. Dont hold your breath I'm a slow worker

^^^ Bro, at this rate, soon you'll have no S left in your 8!
 Why not just get an el cheapo A8 4,2 QS, and strip her till she's just legal? She'll be pretty quick, that's for sure.
