Default Found a weight reduction site. True?

I just found this site that lists various weight reduction options.
http://www.importmodifications.com/c...reduction.html

What do you guys think? Are these weights accurate (coming from an "Import Modification" site)? Specifically, I didn't think the rear seats weighed that much.

sounds like a theory to me
but less weight will make your car move faster.

Pretty cool. I removed my passenger and rear seats one night and I felt some difference? Maybe it was just in my head!

google! haha

it's just that from everything i've read on this site, 95% of people say that a rear seat delete is pointless, because they weight little to nothing. according to the link, a rear seat delete sounds beneficial.

I removed my rear seats and seatbelts.

Only weighed 28 lbs (cloth). Don't remember If I included the buckles or not.

With hardware, all seats and seatbelt brackets and motors I pulled 29.4 Lbs. Sounds about right to me.
