Good luck. Rear seat delete literally takes around 30 minutes total for everything.

Spare tire and jack is ~5 min at most.

You will love the feeling with the lighter weight. I removed around 425 lbs from mine and it made a HUGE difference with braking, accel, and handling especially.

Don't get brides unless you're less than 34" waist. I have a zeta III in my car and I'm about a 32" waist, and even then it's a SNUG fit. I love it, but get a seat sized for you that you are comfortable in.

Only way to know for sure is weigh it before and after. Go to your local metal recycling place or scrap yard and drive on their scale. A local place by me does it for free and gives you within 10lb. I started at 3220 lb with all the turbo stuff, full interior, stock contours, and Corbeau CR1 seats. Now at 2780 lb.

Rear seats really aren't that heavy. The spare tire and jack stuff is a good 40-50 lbs though. Front seats you won't end up saving as much as you think when you add in all the bracketing and stuff to mount the new seats properly. Some saving, but not too dramatic.
