If you do a search there are a few great threads with that information.

Here is one to get you started.

Easy to do; rear seats, trunk carpet and spare cover, braille battery, rear crash support, exhaust and light wheels. Mine sit at 3700lbs in this setup, with 1LE stock wheels (still heavy compared to a real drag setup).

Then seats, sway bar, carpet isolation...then all the rest! They are not that heavy with basic stuff out. It takes 5-10mins to removed rear seats/carpet. Plus you hear your exhaust louder haha

I have a good 100-150lbs to lose with wheels and seats. 3550lbs would be awesome!
