Daily Driver Weight Reduction.
The seat bottom is basically null, a few lbs at most, but the seat back and cross bracing behind it are considerably heavy (around 35-40 lb) plus, as mentioned, without a rear seat, you are free to remove rear seatbelts, tether/anchor locations, and various other bolts and brackets. In total, you stand to lose a solid 50+ pounds from it all.
Get a nice exhaust setup. I dropped 46lbs from the turbo back with my setup (AMS widemouth, t1r resonated tp and tomei expreme exhaust). Coilovers usally drop about 7lbs per corner. 2piece rotors are 4lbs per corner (rotational mass). Lighter rims, lighter driveshaft. All these parts add up.
I think you are thinking about carbon fiber. I'm on coilovers set just below stock height. We got rough roads and i never had a issue with it breaking or cracking.
Just go custom aluminum you can buy the pieces off the internet and have it welded by someone else just as light and waaaay less expensive.
I completely gutted mt 350z and regretted it. I saved weight but lost traction and it was loud as hell. Drop the basics (spare and jack, stuff in the trunck.) When you talk about serious parts removal from experience this time Im just going on a diet. Best thing is when I want to go back to my "stock" weight I can just eat more pizza.
