[QUOTE="whatdamn, post: 2510777, member: 5381"] starscream, i'd suggest a systematic step by step approach in order to fully appreciate the changes made. also, remove items that you would either not regret or have much difficulty putting them back in. try removing the front and rear passenger seats and everything that's currently in your boot like the spare wheel, tools, random stuff, plastic trimmings and the carpet. then drive your car around some choice roads, preferably the ones you travel daily so that you have a baseline of how your car felt before and after the reduction in about 50kg from the car. if you've hit a sweet spot, then you know you should reduce ~50kg from the car. then put back the stuff you really need (ie. front passenger seat) and take note of the weight of each item you've removed or put back in this case, then work on removing other items or lightening them. like i said, remove/add items that do not sacrifice YOUR personal comfort because ultimately, you're using it for street. one more point, you should read up on the effects of reduction/addition to SPRUNG and UNSPRUNG MASS of a vehicle.
