How? With bracket extensions? This is not that part of the car you want to skimp on to save a few pounds.
This is the company that makes almost every mounting plate you'll find in a race car-

They don't make a Gen 5 kit yet. You need a plate like this, then the side brackets as well which are 2-4 lbs minimum which are sold by the seat manufacturer. And as I said above the sliding/adjustable kits weigh even more.
Through my research, with the lightest seats money can buy you are gonna lose about 25 lbs max. I'm going to go with this seat-

It weighs 16.5 lbs, I'm going to do the fixed setup so that will save some weight but I'll still end up at about 30 lbs total vs the 54lbs factory setup. You wont be able to get much lighter than that. If you are a very small man and can get the medium seats, that will save another pound. For road racing this weight is not as important as elsewhere as it is down low and near center of the car.
