Racing seats are generally much lighter than OEM seats. AND more supportive in high lateral acceleration maneuvers, so the brakes see less use. I'm considering some racing seats for my Mustang to reduce its weight.

That said, I just spent about $25 on some pizza pans to (eventually) make some aerodynamic wheel covers for my Mustang.
