1.  Some lightweight wheels may trade weight for street durability.
2.  Recaro SRDs offer tilt and some adjustability for a daily driven vehicle.  Racing buckets are very lightweight and can save even more weight, but not really practical for the street.
3.  Removal of compressor, bracket, all hoses, dryer, condenser, electric fan.
4.  Safety issue.  Removal may compromise crash worthiness of vehicle.
5.  Rear lower cushion (15 lbs.), rear seat back (32 lbs.), side bolsters (7 lbs.), rear seat insulation (10 lbs.)
