Reducing weight is a real help. I cut about 200lbs by eliminating the stock rubber mats under the rear seats and the rear seats, the rear mat in the engine compartment, 17 lb battery, Recarro seats, eliminate the rear heat shields for the CAT and had the CAT ceramic coated, and eliminated sunroof.
I am running SP but you can benefit from most of the changes. I replaced the stock sound deadening with Quiet Car a waterbased sound proofer that weighs almost nothing. I also used new carpet with a very light pad backing.
