The 370Z Weight Reduction Thread

Nice, this looks like a useful thread that will hopefully get stickied.
Maybe for those who have bought their 370Z already, we can get a weight on spare tire and jack/tools. Thats one of the easiest places to drop weight.
Also, some one should try to weigh the stock wheels and tires, as this is another good place to save weight. My estimates would be 24-25 lb front wheels and 27-28 lb rear wheel but I'm just guessing.

Any update on the weight of stock 18" and 19" wheels?

If someone ever plans on uping their hp on their car, would they need a different set of batteries other than the pc680? Or will that batter work fine?

How comfortable are those seats?

And a bonus, I weighed a BRIDE Zeta III and rail (for 350Z). Result = 26 lbs. each.

And even threw the seat in the car for a few shots

. *No the 370Z brackets aren't here yet, they will be here 5-7 weeks.
