Default weight info for parts...?

I'm sure You know this:-)

oem front seat weight ? thinking if change can help here, probably not much
rear seat removal - 17kg (already seen thread)
supersprint back box - 15kg? just guess
big brakes probably same weight are close
lighter wheels probably does not exist or not much

/I know air con can be removed and radio and speakres, but these i want to keep/

You can save around 1.5kg per wheel by choosing a lighter style.

Front seat replacement will save a fair amount of weight also as well as removing all the crap from the boot.

be a bit careful as sat weights are always given ex cushions, mounts and sliders so make sure you add them for the comparison against CSL seats
