I changed out my stock header with a Fujitsubo unit. I never weighed it but just by lifting it, it felt about 10lbs lighter than stock. Theres always titanium exhausts also. Took out the spare also, whatever that weighs.

driver weight mod counts.
i changed my control arms to sti aluminum, removed most of the interior (but added a roll bar). Still need to get the JDM bumper beams and JDM aluminum hood, which will drop my car about 75 lbs all together.
