Rear seats weigh a fair bit. My mk2s got front seats and a dash basically. I don't really listen to music much so just got uprated dash speakers

defiantly noticed a difference when I had the rear seats and spare wheel out seems quicker and sharper when cornering.

shame they had to go back in as often have a full car  :sad:

All seats weigh a ton, you can search one of my "diet" threads. Can't remember which thread but everything was weighed individually.

remove the cigarette lighter, improves overall stability.
