They had to be cut and narrowed by 2" and are heavier than the stock seats, but I got slightly more fore/aft travel, I find them much sturdier and they have fully reclining seatbacks. We trimmed a lot of metal from the sides of the seatbacks that wasn't needed, which helped keep the additional weight gain to a minimum. I don't know where you'll find rails that are any lighter than what comes with the kit. They need to be beefy if you want the seats to stay attached to them in any kind of impact. Skip Slater
