Obvious suggestion, but maybe you haven't done it: remove spare tire.

Default Maybe you should be happy by the time you get the seats you'll be down to 3300 lbs.

Really not much left for you to remove unless you want to start getting uncomfortable like removing ac, rear seats and interior bits. You can always ditch the spare and toolkit if you haven't done so already.

Corey and Sharon have one of the lightest B5 S4 cars out there (racing use though).

The soundproofing is heavy, but if you pull that then it isn't much a daily driver.
