Rear Seat Removal gains

I'm trying to justify removing the rear seats. Someone only since in them a few times a yearl. I was wondering if anyone knew what the weight savings are or, ET time improvement?

There won't be difference in ETs, but once you start shaving weight in other places, it all adds up in the grand scheme of things.

+1 too, if all you're gonna take out is the seats dont bother, you need to remove a couple hundred pounds before it makes a noticable difference.

I took my rear seats out to clean a while back and cant agree more with this statement. They really dont weigh much at all and the 30lb figure seems right. But hey, it all adds up.
