Weight Reduction

[rojekm2]

What has everyone taken out or replaced for weight reduction at the track. I will be looking to do some light weight reduction while still keeping things as functional as possible for a street car. Whats the best bang for your buck and where do most people start?

Taking out the passenger seat and back seats will save ~80lbs in just minutes. Stripping the trunk will save a bit too. That's all stuff you can put back in of course. More permanent options: lighter brakes front and back, lighter wheels, aftermarket radiator support, remove the factory sway bar. Lightweight battery saves 20lbs. Pretty easy to shed 300 pounds on these cars in my opinion and still have them look and function very well on the street.
