That would be cool. Have you noticed a major difference with the cars weight so low now?

The seats themselves are pretty heavy. I swapped the stock cloths (2 way driver power) with the leathers (all power, airbags) and I could notice a decrease in acceleration. The car felt much more peppy with just the passenger seat removed (when I went to pick the new seats up.)

Bensenvill: Do you have the stock wheels still, or did you go light weight?

still on 16" for now.

that is an easy way to save weight were it matters most. my rotas weigh 3.5lbs less than stock, and the tce front breaks are another 4-5 lbs lighter than the stock rotors/calipers
