lightweight

Hello

I want to make my car lighter. For example, to remove rear seats. It is possible to buy a record, for example, BMW M3 or 1M SafetyCar?

I don't see why not. You could use the lost weight and add a roll bar. Your not taking anything away from the safety of the car by taking out the seats if I am not mistaken.

Hello.
Rear seat weighs nearly 25 kg. I think the rear seats when not working strut bar. Or yes?
I mean, just maybe, or not really. For example rear strut bar by Wiechers is much better. Rear seats can not be a noticeable effect.
