In stock class, would replacing the original seats with seats from another trim level of the same model via "comfort & convenience" (the seats are more comfortable, but are a total of 25 lbs heavier than the originals) be legal? I couldn't find my rule book last night & don't know the exact wording of the stock rules.

Nope, not legal without converting to that higher option package. Sucks, but that's the way it is. That said, I don't think it would result in many protests.

I should add...

It's not legal because if it was, the "higher" option package cars could convert to the more "comfortable" lighter seats.

Here is the C&C rule, make your own conclusions :)

Quote:
Accessories, gauges, indicators, lights and other appearance,
comfort and convenience modifications which have no effect on
performance and/or handling and do not materially reduce the
weight of the car are permitted. This does not allow driver’s seat
substitutions, or <snip>
