Depends which rear seats you have.
If you have the leather/vinyl/fabric covered foam ones, those weigh like 5lbs. I'd rather keep their good looks, then see a ugly spot where the seat was when its only 5lbs.Tenured Automotive Service Professional - Avid BMW Enthusiast

yeah i have the foam covered in cloth. no leather but i'd probably keep the seats in just because like you said Jordan they just dont feel like are very heavy at all and i dont want the empty area back there too. Not on a DD

Not to mention spare tire, the tar in the trunk (if he has it), etc. That's a good bit of weight out of the rear.

It provides wonder gains in acceleration, braking, and all aspects of handling
Its gain to cost ratio is lower then anything else you can buy!
Ready for this???
Add lightness.

RBBJ, have fun throwing $$$ at a stock stroke M20. And ansa exhaust? :down:
...
I'll correct myself, have fun throwing $$$ at the M20 period.
Ordering a bunch of parts from BMP and bench racing is not bang for buck.
Can we start an actual list of best for budget mods?
1 ) JC Chip if you have a M20, M50, S50, etc (not M42 as much)
2 ) 19# / Larger AFM - cheap mods, nice gains
3 ) Suspension - stiffer, lower
4 ) Summer-only tires
5 ) Light, wide wheels
6 ) Performance brake pads
7 ) Suspension - kill body roll: sways, braces, etc
8 ) Shorter final drive
9 ) Driver

On the other hand, friction always opposes motion, and never encourages movement.
