keep aircon. ditch all the oem sounddeadening. the two rubber matts under the front foot wells and the board/carpet in the boot and the spare wheel/tools.

The only time i honestly ever felt a difference from weight saving was when I had totally stripped the interior ready for fresh sounddeadening to go in. Most of that was down to the noise though I'm sure.

If your car is in any way a daily keep the aircon imho.

if its your dailly dont bother mate. the difference is so marginal at that level as no be none and all you are doing is taking comfort away from the car. Iv had 4 5ths and the nicest one to daily was the one I did nothing to at all :lol:
