The sound deadening behind the dash on the fire wall is very thick and weighs a fair amount if your guns do a proper job it's dash out really.. Not too bad on a 4g though to be honest..

Carpet weighs nothing. Front seats weigh a ton, take both those out instead.

should fix your cv joints,service it and do any other little jobs first before you put time and effort instead of stripping it to make it lighter
