What you need is a back seat delete kit. Make it into storage bins ala RX-7.

stock seats aren't made out of carbon fiber, thus slowing down the car on hills.

on hills or overall?
Besides the weight, if you take your car to the track you won't be moving around in a stock seat.

I haven't bought my RX8 yet - but if I replace the front seats, will I be able to get more leg room? I'm about 6' 4" (192cm) and the regular seats are a bit of a squeeze for me. If I can put the driver's seat back a bit, there won't be ANY leg room behind!

The same for me! I think not the height poses the real problem but the long legs (inseam?). I'm of the same height as Aish and looking for a solution.

Anyone have already moved the seats a bit further backward? Or replaced the original driver seat with a racing one?
