You might wanna look over here: http://www.the370z.com/brakes-suspen...on-thread.html

Obviously the rear is easy if you want to do it: strip out all the carpet/foam/plastic/spare/subwoofer/etc. In the front the largest easy thing is the battery: replace it with a lightweight one and/or relocate it to the trunk. You can also kill the windshield washer fluid system (or at least drain all the fluid out of it) to save a bit of weight up front, if you don't mind using a squeegee whenever it gets dirty. Beyond that, dropping sprung weight from the front of the car involves some pretty serious tradeoffs for a daily driver.
