Removing the rear seat is a 5 minute affair. I didn't do it so much for fuel efficiency but for increased braking power and acceleration, as well as to reduce rubbing in the rear (I am indeed lowered with NF210 springs). In my case it was 100% worth it.

I have my entire rear gutted and I love the result. It brakes better and you can feel a nice difference on hard pulls. It really is not that hard I am sure you can do it yourself. Just buy a basic socket set at your local hardware store as a shop doing this free mod is going to be $$$.

Springs are going to be harder so you may want to get professional help.

If you need help with any diy pm me i will do my best to assist.
