    Like Bio said, not much you can do without losing 'streetability'

    Get ZZP's moly control arms.

    Get Grand am brakes.

    Get lightweight 15" wheels.

    Strip the interior.

    Pull the A/C system. Evap as well.

    Get a fiberglass hood.

    And all that wont do much despite the cost and the trade-offs you'd be making.

    Never done it, but to me its not worth it. I take my seats outs, spare tire, jack and shed 20+ pounds.

    If it was close to 50lbs, I would probably do it, but 20 is nothing.
    98 GTP-Mods? Yeah, lots of them

    I did it to mine when i had the trans out, the extra $35 was worth it. The bushings stay attached and the bolts i just grabbed although i cant remember if they were different. It was worth it to me. You will always have haters out there just remember that.
